About Eastcare Residential Home
Quality care with dignity.
Eastcare Residential Home provides a homely environment set back from the road in a quiet residential area in Hamilton East.
We are proud to have received a 3 year accreditation with one continuous improvement this year.
We offer rest home, dementia, respite and day/night care as well as meals on wheels. We have 3 units with a total of 47 beds, 34 dementia and 15 resthome. There is easy access between the units and to all our outside areas of interest (batch, gym, garden courtyards).
We are committed to providing our residents, in their latter years, with the quality of care they deserve through ensuring they are treated with respect and dignity, encouraged to maintain independence and mobility and that their individual skills and interests are recognised and included in activities planned. All our residents are encouraged to participate daily in in-house and/or community activities and events (shopping, crafts, swimming, walking, painting, cooking, RSA, Lake, Gardens, dog walking, church groups, music).
Our staff are trained to a high standard to understand and manage the differing dementia behaviours and all expected to keep up to date with current trends and practices. We provide ongoing education and professional development opportunities.
We have an open door policy with regards to visiting, allowing friends and family to stop by at any time convenient to them. Residents are welcome to have their husband/wife/partner join them for meals from time to time (a small fee is charged for the meal).
An information pack is available from the home and we invite anyone considering care for their family member to visit us.
