Wilson Carlile Village

HOSPITAL CARE

Metlifecare Wilson Carlile offers Hospital Care, Rest Home, and Respite Care - all set in beautifully kept grounds at 562 Grey Street, Hamilton East, not far from Memorial Park and the magnificent Waikato River.

Located within 1.5kms of Hamilton East Shopping, Medical Centre and Churches, there is also a pharmacy, café and convenience shopping within easy walking distance. Our Hospital has 16 'premium' single bedrooms with ensuites, and some 'standard' rooms. Built on the same level means residents in the hospital and rest home have easy access to seating in the small alcoves off the corridors, as well as to the main lounge adjacent to the dining room.

Metlifecare Wilson Carlile also has a number of attractive brick Villas for independent living and its Rest Home has accommodation for 30 residents.


WE CARE
Our aim is to provide a warm and friendly homely environment. Caregivers and other staff are trained to meet the particular needs of those in their care. Metlifecare Wilson Carlile provides a varied, interesting and meaningful activities programme, planned by our Diversional Therapist who is assisted by an Activities Coordinator and volunteers.
(Diversional Therapy involves designing programmes to meet the needs of the people. The aim is to reassure or stimulate our residents and day care people, while at the same time enabling them to maintain as much independence, dignity and self-esteem as possible.)
Although our doctor visits regularly, some residents may prefer to have their own GP call on them as required.
We want all our people to have an enjoyable time. Our Care Manager is happy to meet with you, and to talk over any concerns you may have. It is appreciated if you take the time to make an appointment.
