Avonlea Rest Home - Dementia Care NZ

We invite you to experience the very special character of Avonlea.

At Avonlea we provide dementia rest home care, general hospital level care, and dementia hospital level care.

We have dedicated dementia rest home rooms available for respite or short stay residents.

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.

Ngā matawhānui – Our vision
To accept all people with kindness and love. To provide peace, comfort and joy. To be proactive, innovative and courageous. To enrich each person, the community and the world.

Kia tomo mai ngā tangata katoa i runga i te atawhai me te aroha. Kia whakaratongia te maungārongo, te āhurutanga me te koa. Kia taunakitia te auahatanga me te kaha. Hei whakangakohia te tangata, te hāpori me te ao hoki.

Ngā uara – Our values
We strive to achieve this vision by working with openness, honesty, integrity and passion.

Mā te whakarīrā o te matawhānui nei ka tutuki. Ma te tautika, ma te ngākau pono, ma te ngākau tapatahi, ma te ngakau whiwhita hoki ka tāea.

Kia whakapūmautia e mātau i te whai tikanga o te whanaungatanga, kia pono, kia tapeke hoki i ngā tangata katoa.

Kia tiaki ā-hoa i o rātau kāinga iti.
Kia whakamana ai mātou i a rātou, ā, ka hikoi ai mātou hoki hei hoa haere ki te wā ka whakawhiti atu ki tūa o te arai.
