Make your home at Redroofs Lifecare
When it comes to everyday life, Redroofs makes it easy with rest home, and respite care. The well-appointed rooms all look out onto sheltered courtyards or landscaped gardens and come complete with a 24-hour call system, WiFi and ensuites.
Light, bright and welcoming, Redroofs is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, just a hop, skip and jump from the Roslyn shopping centre where you’ll find all the essentials such as a pharmacy. Just a short drive from there and you’re in the Dunedin city centre.
We offer everything from hairdressing to physiotherapy, podiatry and SKY TV. We have a range of recreational activities including board games, happy hour, gardening, crafts, indoor bowls and cooking. Our facility van is also always on hand for outings.
