Make your home at Waterlea Lifecare
When it comes to everyday life, Waterlea makes it easy with rest home, day care, respite and dementia care. The well-appointed rooms all look out onto sheltered courtyards or landscaped gardens and come complete with a 24-hour call bell system, WiFi and ensuites.
Light, bright and welcoming, Waterlea is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, just a hop, skip and jump from the Springlands shopping centre where you’ll find all the essentials. Just a few minutes’ drive from there is the Blenheim town centre.
We offer everything from hairdressing to podiatry, spa treatments, speech therapy, a scooter bay and SKY TV. We have a range of recreational activities including board games, happy hour, gardening, crafts, free sports sweepstakes and indoor bowls. Our facility van is also always on hand for outings.
