Description
"Kapiti Rest Home is our Residents' home" - we provide a safe, family environment where each Resident's physical, mental and spiritual needs are paramount to the Management and Staff. Kapiti Rest Home is certified and is able to accept both private paying and subsidised Residents. We believe the essential components of "home" are ....safety and companionship, challenge and fun, purpose and recognition, respect and dignity. We want our home to be an environment where each Resident enjoys a lifestyle which they recognise as their own.
