About Benhaven Rest Home
BENHAVEN BOUTIQUE REST HOME
“Love and a Safe environment”
BENHAVEN IS THE ONLY OWNER/OPERATED AGED CARE FACILITY IN THE HUTT VALLEY.
Unlike the larger facilities our home is small and provides a friendly, safe and supportive environment with a warm homely atmosphere.
We pride ourselves on our service, which ensures that each resident is cared for by carers who have the time to get to know them and their needs.
Families quickly become part of the Benhaven community and are welcome at all times.
"Benhaven’s very personal and homely atmosphere, the wonderful food and warm welcome to us all, provided the next best thing to having Mum at home. But most of all we were truly blessed by the genuine love and care shown to Mum, in the way the staff supported the whole family in this journey by sharing in our sorrow and our laughter."

WE DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR A ROOM WITH AN EN SUITE.
