“I enjoy the fact that independence is encouraged. This means I can come and go as I please. I enjoy the staff, the meals and the extras that they do for us. I was pleased to be asked to be the Maori Advocate for Monte Vista and it’s good to see that the staff are learning about all cultures.” Gene, 74 years
“I was devastated and disorientated when I had to leave and close up my home. Now I don’t think there could be a better place to be. Monte Vista is so well run and the staff are so kind. The meals are tasty and of course I have some favourites like macaroni cheese, shepherds pie and roasts. There are always plenty of cups of tea offered to me. I don’t feel lonely as I have plenty of visitors, and there are always visiting Taupo people that come to play the piano and sing. My eyesight is not good for reading, but I enjoy watching the television in the privacy of my room.” Eden, 101 years “I was in hospital and was unable to cope at home, so my daughter and I decided I would come to Monte Vista. I wouldn’t go to any other place in Taupo! I get on so well with all the staff, they are marvellous. We have lots of fun and laughter. I feel so secure here, and warm and happy.” Thelma, 90 years |

In a home where many residents live, it’s important to us to celebrate your individuality, make you feel valued, and respect your contributions.
Whether you want to read, paint, enjoy the outdoors, or almost any other thing imaginable, our care focusses on creating an environment where you have both the time and support to do what makes you happy. Our activities program is designed to give you a way to be part of the social life in the home, and also to do what you enjoy. Activities programs are daily events staff facilitate with residents based on their preferences. Upon admission, our Activities Coordinator will work with care staff to understand your needs, and incorporate your preferences into the overall activity program. Our unique activities program is run on a daily basis, and planned a week in advance. This means our residents and families can see what activities we are planning, and even make special requests. Our activities teams regularly organize mobility vans or other transport to take residents out for special events. Some residents have complex levels of care, making it difficult for them to participate in activities. In these cases, we make every effort to move beds and wheelchairs into communal or outdoor areas, and to do what we can. Please ask your local Manager about how we can accommodate you preferences in our activities programs. |
