Reviews
We have disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience. Find out more here: I want to read reviews of rest homes
Finalist for fourth year in People's Choice for 40 beds or less. Lovely place to live for those at rest home level. We are closely associated with CHT St Johns Care Home just five minutes away, who provide hospital and dementia care, giving seamless transition for our residents should their needs change over time.
The peaceful garden atmosphere at CHT Royal Oak Home provides a relaxing and private sense of home for residents who can also enjoy close proximity to local shops, churches, public transport and Cornwall Park.
CHT Royal Oak’s design is centred around four suites of 10 modern spacious bedrooms with direct access to outdoor areas from each bedroom. All suites have a dedicated living room area and kitchenette.
Quality care, compassion and a strong connection to the community is at the heart of CHT Healthcare Trust. For over 55 years we have been taking great care of older people in the Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty areas. Each of our properties provides a sense of home for residents, seamless transition across levels of care and support for families.
As an independent healthcare trust, CHT focuses all energy and resources into caring for residents, their families and communities.
Amenities provided:
• Gardens - circular garden path for exercise
• Outdoor seating spaces
• BBQ area
• A variety of shared lounge options
• Shared dining room
• Activities programme daily
• Organised outings
