Enliven's Coombrae Home is lively and welcoming. The people are warm and friendly and there seems to be a smiling face at every corner. Situated in the Feilding township, with a tranquil, semi-rural outlook, Coombrae Home is well known in the local community.

Coombrae Home offers rest home and dementia care, as well as short-term respite, and an engaging day programme.

At Enliven, we create age-friendly communities where people are happy and thrive regardless of their age or ability. As well as providing day-to-day support and clinical care, we take into account the physical, social, emotional, and cultural needs of each person we support.

Our elder-directed philosophy means we put residents at the heart of everything we do. When you or your loved one moves into an Enliven home, you’re joining a unique and special community. This means we work to ensure the elders of Coombrae Home have companionship, variety and spontaneity, fun, meaningful activity, and purpose in their lives. It ensures that elders are involved in decisions that relate to both their personal wellbeing and what happens at their home.

Our staff are not only highly trained, they’re also friendly, caring and embrace our elder-directed philosophy of care. Our nurses are on-duty 24-hours-a-day and the doctor also visits regularly. We are in regular contact with residents to ensure all clinical needs are met.

As an Enliven home, we’re proud to be more than just ‘family friendly’. At Coombrae Home, your family is part of our family, which means you’ll find there are no set visiting times. After all, family, friends, and the community play a big part in life here.

Testimonials
Testimonials
There are many reasons why people enjoy living at Enliven’s Coombrae Home. We asked one of our residents that live here what they like the most about their home.

“I choose Coombrae because I needed extra support and I had heard good things about it. I’m spoilt rotten and loving every minute of it.”
– George, resident.
