HBH Senior Living Howick Views

HBH Senior Living’s fully licensed, 98-bed hospital is designed for those who require a high level of medical care and support, including respite care, dependent on availability. We also cater for people with dementia or cognitive decline.

Our qualified and dedicated staff combines Christian compassion with the highest standards of nursing care and we’re proud to have earned the highest level of certification from the Ministry of Health.

LEVEL OF CARE
For older people or those with disabilities who have significant medical issues and require assistance with most or all personal care and activities of daily living. This includes people with mild to significant dementia or cognitive issues.

LIVING SPACE
Rooms are larger than most (average 17 metres square and most include a full ensuite), and residents are encouraged to bring as much of their own furniture and belongings as possible. Most rooms open onto a deck or patio and all rooms have a built-in wardrobe, vanity and storage and are pre-wired for Sky, phone and Internet. Each of the four units has its own dining room, lounges/activity rooms and sitting areas.

FEATURES OF CARE
> Managed by the clinical services lead, with each unit managed by a Registered Nurse.
> Support with personal care and supervision and management of medical conditions.
> Three GPs – routine check-ups every month or as medically required.
> Regular family meetings with senior staff to review care.
> Occupational therapist, physiotherapist, podiatrist and social worker available.
> Menus are supervised by a dietician.
