Other services
Amberwood is a warm and welcoming community with friendly, approachable staff who will go out of their way to make you comfortable. Amberwood has a choice of standard and premium rooms, so no matter your needs or budget, there are plenty of options.
Amberwood offers the following levels of care:
• Rest Home
• Hospital
• Palliative
• Respite
Your room is your own private space, so you can decorate it with your favourite pictures and ornaments. Standard rooms are large enough for a single bed, a chair and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by Te Whatu Ora Premium rooms have additional features such as more space, an ensuite bathroom or outdoor access, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features.
We don’t set visiting hours at Amberwood because we know it’s important you stay connected to your community. It’s easy for visitors to stop by with the Northwestern Motorway just around the corner, and with Westgate and NorthWest Shopping Centres on our doorstep, there are plenty of places to catch up for a coffee and a bite to eat.
Hop in our van for a jaunt, you’ll never know where it will take you next. A scenic drive through the countryside, shopping trips or picnics in the park, there’s an exciting new destination each week.
Tender Sunday roasts, hot fish and chips and scrummy homemade puddings…there’s a reason why the dining room is full before dinner! All of the above are regular features on our menu, which is packed with tasty family favourites you’d make at home. You’ll be sure to want second helpings!
When it comes to your care, you know what you do and don’t like – and we want to know your preferences too. Because everyone is different, all of our residents receive a personalised care plan, so from meals to medications; everything that’s important to you is covered.
