| Ref #3395 April 2020 " Thank you Rachel, we Just wanted to say to all the wonderful staff at Resthaven that we are thinking of you and your families as you provide such a safe and secure haven for all your residents. The meticulous care and support you offer to families, friends and staff is amazing and we truly appreciate it. Thank you for your kindness and compassion – you guys rock!! With huge respect." Ref #3396a April 2020 " Thank you so very much for all you are doing for our loved ones. It's good hearing the details and updates. I feel that my mum is in the safest possible hands and place. Resthaven is a refuge, a sanctuary during this covid crisis. Much love to you all. Keep safe". Ref #3435a September 2020 "Thank you for your great communication updates. I am so grateful that I can continue to visit my Mum. I appreciate that Resthaven understands how vital it is for our loved-ones to see their family". Ref #3472 December 2020 " Mr & Mrs Claus - such a delight and joy to have these two staff members come into Tui with a trolley of goodies, a bright smile and a guitar. Residents and staff all joined in the signing of Christmas carols. Thank you for bringing such joy to our residents. Ref #3473 January 2021 " DT team did an exceptional job on Christmas Day. Decorations on the tables were enjoyed and appreciated by the residents and their family members. They were so impressed with your efforts and the beautiful decorating." Ref #3523 June 2021 "I have nothing but admiration and grateful thanks to give to the staff of Tui wing at Resthaven for the love and care my husband received during his time with you. Caring for dementia is an unenviable task and never once did I see any hint of frustration or lack of empathy. The decor could be described as tired, but for me that paled into insignificance in the overall picture. Ref #3536 September 2021 "Resthaven is a nice homely place to come into, where visitors sense the people in your care are treated with dignity and warmth". Ref #3538 October 2021 “I was so thankful and comforted that my husband was cared for in Resthaven.

May 2022 To all the team at Resthaven Thank you for these Covid updates. They are much appreciated. Even more than that, thank you for all the work that has been done in the past two years to keep our loved ones safe. You have had a lot of extra responsibility and work through these different and difficult times. It must have been hard on you and your families. It has given us peace of mind to think that our family members are being treated with patience and kindness. We can’t thank you enough. November 2022 Ref #2748 from Family of resident who stayed in both Village and latterly resthome:- To all of you lovely people at Resthaven who have showed mum and dad such care, kindness, patience and good humour over the years. We are missing dad like crazy but are still comforted by him going pretty much on his own terms and with so much lovely care around him. Thank you and best wishes to you all for some joy & peace over Christmas and the New Year, with our very kindest regards and gratitude. December 2022 Ref #2821 from family of resident who was in RHLC. Thank you for taking care of mum over the last 12 months.

November 2023 #4263 The kitchen staff prepared a trolley of delicious food and drinks on the day my parents arrived at Resthaven, too late for lunch. It was fabulous and could have been served at any top hotel. Thank you so much, our family really appreciated it. |

Special Features
| Cambridge Resthaven is a Community Charitable Trust, 100% owned by the Cambridge Community. We believe that as there are many individuals living at Resthaven, all have different personalities, values and beliefs, so that no-one philosophy will 'fit' or meet everyone's needs. With this in mind Resthaven utilize a number of philosophies to guide us in our interactions with individuals as follows (this list is not exhaustive); * HUMANITAS - We cannot cure old age - "care" is secondary to living. 1. Everyone wants to be in control of his or her own life. If one's brain is still functioning, that person can and wants to decide for him/herself what is important. 2. People would actively participate as much as able "too much care is worse than too little care" because skills atrophy. 3. There are no "us's" and "thems" - meaning those in need of care and the professionals who give it - but rather we are all apart of an extended family who share common goals. 4. The YES culture - All concerned (management, employee, family, client, volunteer) will need a positive attitude towards any request concerning the wish to be in control and actively participate or have new ideas. *V.I.Ps - V = Values people - Values and promotes the rights of the person, recognizing we can all learn from each other. I = Individual's needs - Provides individualized care according to needs - we are all different. P = Perspective of service user - Understands support and care from the perspective of the person - putting yourself in the other person's shoes. S = Supportive social life and environment - recognizing the benefits of socialization e.g. reduced risk or depression, stronger immune system and eliminating loneliness. *NAMASTE - "To honour the spirit within" - Recognizing and ensuring that all support/care and activities help bring pleasure to people. Keeping a person clean, fed and groomed is not living - it's existing. People need to feel wanted, loved and feel as if they can still contribute (Namaste Care TM) *NORMAL LIFE: Activities of daily living are the things we normally do e.g. feeding ourselves, bathing, dressing grooming, housework, shopping, cooking, caring for others, caring for pets. All of these aspects should be part of our resident's day, promoting independence and to be part of normal life. Cambridge Resthaven provides a quality, personalized care. We respect the dignity and individual rights of our multicultural society. We demonstrate a caring manner. We strive for excellence in service delivery. We will advocate for those in our care. We don’t want people just to exist but to experience quality of life. OUR FACILITIES Our facilities are well maintained, and upgrades completed so that we continue to play a major role in the support of the elderly residents of Cambridge and districts. We are well resourced and have appropriate equipment such as e.g.: electric beds, vans, wheelchairs, and Spark of Life equipment. There are many small areas for, private, quiet time dotted around the facility. We also have 2 lounges and 2 dining rooms. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Fundraising for a rest home in Cambridge started in 1964 by the members of the Fencourt Country Womens' Institute. The project caught the attention of local people in Cambridge and what eventuated was to be the towns first Resthome which opened in 1972 - RESTHAVEN. The journey began with an early bequest made by Miss Alice Hanlin and the establishment of the Cambridge Resthaven Trust. Widespread community support was demonstrated by the range of organizations represented on the inaugural Trust Board i.e. Lions, Rotary, RSA, Federated Farmers, Federation of Country Women’s Institutes, Borough Council. MILESTONES Rest home opened 1972, First Cottages 1974, Continuing Care (Hospital) 1979, Intermediate Care Wing 1985, The Quiet Room 1988, Resthaven Close 1994, New Hospital Wing (MacDiarmid) 2007 Memory Enhancement Unit - TUI (Dementia) 2010 Renovated Hospital wing Bellbird 2012 Views on Vogel (Village extension) 2014-2016 Community Menz Shed 2016 Purchase Of Resthaven on Burns Street Campus 24th April 2020 Purchase of To & Fro Driving Companion Service September 2020 Apartment Project build commenced 2022 50th Birthday celebrated 26 November 2022 17th April 2024 The Hanlin Apartment Building officially opened. THE FRIENDS OF RESTHAVEN FOUNDATION The needs of the older person are changing as people live longer and social norms place a greater focus on moving away from facility care to active, independent living. Families are more dispersed and therefore have less capacity to provide support to older members of their family, and the gap between available funding and peoples needs is ever growing. The Friends of Resthaven Foundation's focus is to fundraise for services, care options and aged-care education for the Cambridge and Waipa/Matamata/Piako communities. The emphasis is on making services and facilities, linked to the Foundation, accessible and affordable, wherever a person chooses to live - in a retirement village, resthome or in their own home. See: http://www.resthavenfoundation.org.nz or contact Foundation Admin on 027 405 0808. VISITORS Visitors are always welcome. However, we do ask for Infection Control and Health & Safety that all visitors pre-arrange their visit. (Please do not visit if you're unwell and masks are still required when visiting aged care facilities). There are tea/coffee making facilities for visitors. If residents would like family members to join them for a meal this can be arranged with the staff on duty. There is a small charge for meals - please ask at reception |
