Reviews
Given the current COVID-19 environment we have temporarily disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Welcome to St Allisa, an Arvida care and wellbeing community.
Respite and Carer Support available when we have vacancies.
St Allisa is nestled amongst beautiful tree-lined grounds and an 'Old English Garden', with gorgeous roses and hedging. We offer a warm, comfortable and homely environment and we respect each resident's individuality and privacy.
St Allisa features a strong New Zealand theme throughout, from our grounds, which are planted in native plants to our paintings and artwork of local New Zealand scenes. Our Rest Home and Hospital is tastefully designed and well positioned for the sun and views within this beautiful setting.
We have 90 beds, in both single and double rooms, and all have full ensuite bathrooms for both hospital level or rest home level care. The environment is homely and warm, and residents are encouraged to bring their own pictures, ornaments and other personal items to personalise their rooms if they wish.
A Registered Nurse is on duty at all times, and our team of friendly care givers look after our residents like they are family. All of our care givers have the National Certificate in Support of the Older Person, or are studying for it. Education for all of our staff, including cleaners and kitchen staff, is of the highest priority for us here at St Allisa.
