About Radius Fulton

Radius Fulton is set in the Dunedin suburb of Caversham, a well-established residential area with a strong local feel.

If you’re searching for respite care for yourself or a loved one, we understand how vital it is to find a supportive environment that truly feels like home. Respite care offers essential short-term support for individuals who may be unwell, recovering, or simply in need of a little extra assistance. Whether it’s for just a few days or a couple of weeks, respite care allows primary caregivers to take a well-deserved break while providing residents with a refreshing change of scenery.
At Fulton, we warmly welcome respite residents into our close-knit community. Our compassionate and experienced team is dedicated to delivering personalised care that meets the unique needs of each individual. We take pride in fostering an atmosphere of companionship and respect, ensuring that every resident feels valued and supported.
Set in a tranquil environment, Fulton provides a peaceful space ideal for recovery. With accessible amenities designed for the comfort and quality of life of older individuals, our care home is a warm and inviting place for respite care.
In some instances, respite care may be partially funded by the government, depending on your local health authority and an NASC (Needs Assessment Service Coordination) assessment.
If you’re considering respite care, we’re here to help. Give us a call, and we’ll guide you through the process and arrange a visit to Fulton. Let us show you how we can support you or your loved one during this time.

Residents Say It Best
”Since Radius Fulton came under new management, the improvements have been incredible. The atmosphere feels brighter and more welcoming. The staff go above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Communication with families has improved tremendously, and it’s clear that the new leadership truly values compassion, respect, and professionalism. The facility is cleaner, more organized, and there’s a renewed sense of community with engaging activities and thoughtful touches that make a big difference in daily life. I feel so much peace of mind knowing my loved one is in such capable and caring hands. Thank you so much to all the dedicated staff taking care of our most vulnerable family members, you do such an amazing job every day. You are so appreciated for all that you do <3”
