Dementia - Memory Care
Summerset at Pohutukawa Place's memory care centre offers secure specialist dementia care in a purpose-built, safe and homely environment.
Each of our spacious modern memory care apartments is purchased under a licence-to-occupy*. They include a double bedroom, ensuite bathroom, small kitchenette, and a generous lounge for family and friends; enabling residents to continue to lead active and positive lives in a secure setting.
Our unique way-finding, large open communal areas and outdoor courtyard garden provide freedom of movement and a sense of independence, perfect for people needing specialist dementia care who are at risk of wandering.
Key features of our memory care centre:
- Care is provided by dementia-friendly trained staff in a purpose-built, safe, homely environment
- Our memory care centre design is based on world-class dementia living
- Centre design is based around circular architecture so residents can always find their way back to the main area
- There are secure outdoor garden areas and inviting, communal lounge, living and kitchen area
- Sensory technology is installed in every memory care apartment. Sensors are programmed to each resident's most common movements and routines. If the cycle is broken at any stage, a silent nurse call system alerts caregiver pagers so residents always have help at hand
- A diverse activities programme is offered seven days a week focused on meeting individual needs
- Prospective residents will have been independently assessed by the DHB as requiring secure specialist dementia care
- All residents must be NASC accessed as requiring secure specialist dementia care
