Special Features
| Lady Joy is proud to offer you log fire warmth and daily home baking making you feel right at home. We are not too big or too small, you may say boutique very personalised care, which means we are able to tailor the home to the residents, whilst still having all the top professional caregivers, nursing staff, equipment and facilities. Often we can have even numbers of both Men and Ladies (this is not typical for Rest Homes), this adds to a wonderful atmosphere. We are close to town (7 minutes) but back onto wonderful farmland, many established trees and a big established orchard being developed to enable residents to walk through and pick fruit. Named after the late Mayoress of Wanganui, Joy Poynter, who gave freely of her time for many many years using her skills as a hairdresser to make the lives of many elderly people happier. The Rose named in her honour is planted around the home. Please come and visit |
