Waihi Lifecare (2018) Limited

Waihi Lifecare offers an exceptional Hospital and Resthome level of care in a warm and loving environment. Our rooms have been recently renovated in a peaceful, homely decor and the facility is located in an attractive garden setting.

We are very focused on the holistic wellbeing of all our residents, ensuring that both their physical and psychological needs are met at all times. A professional and caring service is delivered by our team of highly qualified Registered Nurses and Health Care Assistants, 24 hours a day. They cover all aspects of personal care from medication and pain management to ongoing emotional support.

Our two qualified Diversional Therapists implement recreation and leisure-based activity programs to support, challenge and enhance the psychological, spiritual, social, emotional and physical wellbeing of our residents and patients.

The following services are also offered;

Under 65s with long term disability or chronic illness
Long term care is available for young (under 65 years) physically disabled (YPD) or those with chronic long term illnesses, who require assistance with self-care, communication or general mobility. We have a great team of skilled and experienced care staff, who work closely with residents to nurture and maintain optimum independence and control.

GP Inpatient Service
Our highly professional Waihi General Practitioners can admit patients who are unwell or where the older person and their family or whanau are unable to care for the patient. This service includes “emergency or unplanned respite” where an immediate service response is required to avoid admission to a public hospital.

End of life – Palliative Care
We provide a caring and supportive environment where the people who are dying are supported in an environment that provides comfort, privacy and dignity for the resident and their family.

Transition to Home Post-Acute Convalescent Care
A public hospital can refer a patient who are unable to return home/stay home safely in the interim because of;
• an acute illness/episode from which they are expected to recover within 10-14 days
• A period of non-weight bearing is required (up to 42 days) post fracture
• There is a need for home modification/equipment/decisions that is leading to a delayed discharge home and the patient has otherwise completed their acute episode of care.

Respite Care
Short-term stays, or respite care services, are available to those who are unwell (eg, recovering from an illness or hospital stay) or who simply are in need of extra support. Whether it's for a couple days or a few of weeks. This gives the patient a change of scenery whilst being well cared for along with the usual carer being able to take a break.
