CHANGING THE WAY WE CARE FOR OLDER PEOPLE.
Reflecting best practice from around the world, Metlifecare Oaks delivers holistic care and support to the elderly which is focused totally on the individual, their needs and what they want out of life. The physical design of our facilities, and our staffing structures, are focused on overall wellness, not just clinical care.
The care suites within the Lees Centre at Metlifecare Oaks is a manifestation of this new model of care, where communities are based around small clusters of resident ‘households’ within the larger care community. Provision of rest home and hospital care from this purpose-built facility enables residents to continue living on site as their care needs change over time.
CARE SUITES AVAILABLE NOW
Located on the first and second floors, 4 small communities or 'households' are home to a total of 48 residents. Each household functions like a home, with its own living room and open plan kitchen and large balcony for relaxing. Whanau and friends are able not just to visit, but also use the household kitchen and even stay overnight.
Each household has:
- its own 24/7 care partners
- its own front door, with a door bell for use after hours
- lounge with fireplace
- dining area (with one large dining table)
- domestic open plan kitchen for staff, residents and whanau to use as they please
- a den or whanau room for residents and families to use during visits, or for whanau to stay overnight complete with (fold-out couch)
- a guest toilet close to the whanau rooms
Each resident’s room has:
- its own ensuite (bidet optional)
- a generous wardrobe
- smart TV with access to SKY TV and
- Netflix
- wifi
In addition there is:
- a nurse onsite 24/7
- a small domestic laundry that both residents and families can use should they wish to (a regular commercial laundry service will also be available).
