Description
We invite you to experience the very special character of Tasman Rest Home.
OUR VISION

To provide peace, comfort and joy
To be proactive, innovative and courageous
To enrich each person, the community and the world
OUR VALUES
We strive to achieve this vision by working
with openness, honesty, integrity and passion
THE WORK WE DO
We establish trusting relationships based on
respect and acceptance
We encourage people’s participation in
companionship-based care in their small homes
We are privileged to accompany people as they
journey towards the end of their life
We welcome family/whanau and the wider
community as integral to people’s lives
We promote inclusion and the rights and
values of each person
We celebrate unity in diversity
Dementia Care New Zealand is one of New Zealand’s highly regarded aged care providers.
We provide a full range of residential care including general rest home care, dementia rest home care, general hospital level care, and dementia hospital level care. At many of our facilities, a full continuum of care is available.
We specialize in person-centred care for people who live with dementia. This is the work we have passionately chosen to do.
We care for people in small, cosy homes with a loving, warm and homely atmosphere where each person is supported to experience each moment richly. Our small homes concept means that people with dementia experience life in a less clinical and more normalised, familiar way. Small homes that inter connect, also bring a sense of ‘community’ for a person with dementia.
We offer 24 hour Registered Nurse coverage to all of our residents at Tasman.

Testimonials

Outstanding Care Provided for my Mum The Positives : The wonderful staff at Tasman provided outstanding care for my mum throughout her stay. They were, without exception, calm, kind and warm-hearted toward her at all times. That she was able to smile and laugh with us right up to her last days is a tribute to the ‘best friends’ and ‘small homes’ concept being implemented by DementiaCare NZ. We will always remain grateful that we chose Tasman to care for her. The Negatives : Nothing. To anyone viewing this facility we encourage you to focus on the calm atmosphere and attitude of the caring staff. So while the rooms and lounges are bright and cheery they don’t have the latest decor. Funds are obviously spent on providing the very best in personal care for the residents as we found. We never regretted for even one minute our decision to settle Mum here. S.Smith. July 2018. To all the wonderful staff at Tasman, We just wanted you to know how much our family appreciated the outstanding care you gave my Mum throughout her stay with you. You were, without exception, calm, kind and warm hearted toward her at all times. That she was able to smile and laugh with us right up to her last days is a tribute to all of you and the ‘Best Friends’ and ‘small homes’ concept being implemented by Dementia Care NZ. We will always remain grateful that we chose Tasman to care for Mum after she could no longer stay at home. We extend to you all of our warmest regards and grateful thanks. Sue and John, Michael and Carolyn and the rest of the family of Joy Guy. ACTS 24:15 – We look forward to seeing our darling Joy again. March 2018 Brenda Wollen 15th March 2012. My Husband, Eric, has been a resident of Tasman Rest Home and Dementia Care in Stoke, Nelson since January 17th this year and I can’t speak too highly about the wonderful care he is receiving. All the staff, from the Managers, The Registered Nurses, the Diversional Therapists and the Carers are all very competent and all so cheerful and most welcoming. A support group meeting is held once a month for the families of the residents, which I find most helpful. I am very happy to have Eric being cared for by these wonderful people and would thoroughly recommend Tasman Rest Home and Dementia Care. |
