About Cook Street Nursing Care Centre
We, Wayne and Anna, purchased Cook Street Nursing Care Centre on the 22nd November 2017. We are very proud to be the owner operators of this small and special home for older adults needing care into their twilight years. We believe we are the only privately owned and operated facility left in Palmerston North. This gives us a unique opportunity to make decisions on the spot and tailor care to individual resident and family needs. We are also able to accommodate respite care or private recuperation dependent on vacancies.
We are very proud to have audit on audit four year certifications recognizing the high quality care the team provides at Cook Street Nursing Care Centre.
