Welcome to Radius St Allisa, we are a resident-led community, our residents who are encouraged to get involved and make decisions about their day to day living.
Radius St Allisa is nestled amongst beautiful tree-lined grounds and an 'Old English Garden', with gorgeous roses and hedging. We offer a warm, comfortable and homely environment and we respect each resident's individuality and privacy.
Radius St Allisa features a strong New Zealand theme throughout, from our grounds, which are planted in native plants to our paintings and artwork of local New Zealand scenes. Our Rest Home and Hospital is tastefully designed and well positioned for the sun and views within this beautiful setting.
We offer a wide spectrum of care from Rest Home, Hospital, Respite and Dementia Care to Long Term Care for those with Chronic Health Conditions, Young People with Disabilities and ACC Recovery.
We have 109 rooms, in both single and double, and all have full ensuite bathrooms. The environment is homely and warm, and residents are encouraged to bring their own pictures, ornaments and other personal items to personalise their rooms if they wish.
A Registered Nurse is on duty at all times, and our team look after our residents like they are family. Education for all of our staff, including housekeepers and kitchen staff, is a priority for us here at Radius St Allisa.
