Being just around the corner from the Southern Motorway with easy-access to public transport, it’s a breeze for visitors to pop in, or get you out and about to local shops and cafes. The Auckland Botanic Gardens are located just across the road from Elmwood, boasting 64-hectares of beautiful gardens and native forest to explore – as well as a fantastic on-site café that makes the perfect spot for catching up with friends and family in Auckland.
Family-friendly is how we’re often described by our residents - and we certainly live up to that reputation! From the staff who greet you in the hallways, to the fresh and inviting living spaces, at Elmwood you’ll feel right at home. Our main lounge is a vibrant hub of activity. Follow the music and laughter to find a friend to chat to, or to join in the day’s events. Or if it’s peace and quiet you crave, explore the bountiful gardens, or relax in a comfy chair in one of our many cosy nooks.
We don’t have visiting hours at Elmwood because we know it’s important you stay connected to your community. Just like at home, friends and family can join you anytime for a cuppa and catch up. We’re just around the corner from the Southern Motorway, so it’s a breeze for visitors to pop in, or get you out and about to local shops and cafes.
Your room is your own private space, so you can decorate it with your favourite pictures and ornaments. Standard rooms are large enough for a single bed, a chair and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by the DHB. Premium rooms have additional features such as more space, an ensuite bathroom or outdoor access, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features.
Care Suites provide both Rest Home and Hospital level care, which means you can relax knowing you won’t have the upheaval of moving again if your needs increase. All Care Suites have a full en-suite, as well as a kitchenette with a fridge and a kettle – perfect for making a cuppa when friends and family come to visit. You own the right to occupy your Care Suite, so you can personalise it with your favourite furniture and treasured pieces. A DHB assessment is not required for care that is paid for privately.
Activities Programme
Hop in the village van for a jaunt, you’ll never know where it will take you next. Cuddling kittens at the cat café or hot chips on the ferry to Devonport, there’s an exciting new destination each week. Or if it’s music you’re in to, enjoy your own personalised playlist with I Love Music, and keep fit and flexible with Move and Groove. Furry friends, fashion shows, competitive games and theme days, there’s something for everyone no matter what you’re interested in.
Food
Tender Sunday roasts, hot fish and chips and scrummy homemade puddings… there’s a reason why the dining room is full before dinner! All of the above are regular features on our menu, which is packed with tasty family favourites you’d make at home. You’ll be sure to be up for second helpings!
