Special Features
| NTRODUCTION Woodlands provides Hospital care and Stage 11 care and is required to satisfy the licensing criteria as laid down by the Ministry of Health. Woodlands contracts to provide care for residents who qualify for the appropriate subsidy. Care standards required authorities provide a benchmark for all rest homes. Residents at Woodlands are assured of the highest possible standards of care and safety at all times BACKGROUND Woodlands first provided care in an elegant country style Rest Home situated in the Manawatu district and located on the Feilding residential - rural boundary. From the entry on Sherwill St East an avenue driveway through century old trees leads to a woodland style garden of one and a half acres. This is sanctuary to an Edwardian Villa with an interesting history. Once a well known family homestead in Wanganui, the house was relocated to its present site in 1975. The homestead was restored and became a family home again. In 1981 The homestead was converted to a licensed restaurant and became a popular venue for weddings and receptions. In 1991 The development of a rest home was planned and the adjoining building was added. The villa with its high tin plate ceilings and spacious rooms provides a grand aura for lounges and dining rooms The new building has been designed with a style in sympathy towards the original villa and provides accommodation with optimum safety and comfort. The atmosphere at Woodlands is exclusive, the residents respond to the environment with delight. The rest home is elegant, the surroundings are restful and peaceful. There is space and opportunity for privacy both indoors and out, and there are many areas for social time and recreation activities shared with others. In May 2017 we opened our new facility - entrance 77 Port St East OTHER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Does Woodlands have good access for aged and disabled? A. Yes. Q. Are smoke detectors installed ? A. Yes. Smoke detectors are installed in all bedrooms and associated hallways. These smoke detectors are connected to fire alarms and monitored by an automatic system that communicates to the fire service. Q. Can residents have TV in their own room ? A. Yes. All areas of the buildings are cabled for TV and sky (residents Cost) reception. Woodlands provides personal TV's in resident rooms. Q. What about electric blankets ? A. These have to be checked and tagged by an electrician every year at residents cost. We will not wash these. Q. May residents use their own electric appliance such as fans, etc. These must have the prior approval of the manager and have a electrical check each year (residents cost) A. Generally no. For safety reasons personal appliances must comply with special rules There may be some exceptions. These must have the prior approval of the manager and have a electrical check each year (residents cost) Q, Do Residents have to buy their own toiletries ? A. Yes. We can provide these but there will be a cost to the resident. Q. Is it necessary for residents to have cash or a cheque book ? A. No. Woodlands operates a resident cheque account individual expenses such as hairdresser or similar. This is properly accounted for in a separate cash book. Separate resident deposits and payments are recorded. We prefer this system. Q. Are residents personal property items covered by insurance for loss? No. It has not been possible to arrange cover for residents personal property. We recommend that risks be minimised, and the retention of expensive or valuable small items of jewellery is discouraged. Q. What is the extent of Woodlands' laundry service ? A. Almost all residents clothing is laundered in house. Exceptions apply to dry cleaning or special care. Generally, expensive or delicate wool garments or similar should be cared for by family members. Dry cleaning expense is not covered by fees charged. Q. How do residents get to specialists or to hospital for outpatient visits ? A. Generally this is family responsibility. Woodlands will arrange transport if family are unable there will be a cost for this. Q. Is there any charge for transport to specialists or hospital visits ? A. Usually, Woodlands is able to coordinate such visits with other routines using our own vehicles, and there is no charge. Special arrangements using St Johns Ambulance or similar service, may incur a separate charge. Q, Are visiting hours controlled ? A. No. Visitors may call at any reasonable time. Regular continuing contact with family and friends is encouraged. Q. Is this all there is to know about Woodlands ? A. No This is only introductory information and very brief. There is a lot more to us than we can say here. The best advice we can give is. Invest some time in talking to our residents. Stay a while and see for yourself. |
