About Leslie Groves Home
Situated in a quiet city street, the Leslie Groves Rest Home can accommodate up to 33 residents who have been assessed as requiring Rest Home level residential care. We encourage residents to personalise their room and many bring items when they move in that remind them of home. In a warm homely environment, both individual and group activities are provided daily and planned to meet the needs of all residents.
Our chaplain visits regularly and interdenominational services are held weekly.
"Home cooked" style meals and snacks are prepared at the Leslie Groves Hospital and laundry is undertaken by Leslie Groves staff.
Both individual and group activities are provided daily and planned to meet the needs of all residents.
New friendships are often built while it is not uncommon for residents to re-connect with old friends already living with us! Rest Home level residents can have a higher level of independence and we encourage you to remain as independent as possible and often like to actively engage in day to day 'household tasks'.
Respite can be available depending on the availability of beds.

Operating from Monday to Friday the Day Programme is available for older people assessed as requiring this service but is also available for those wanting to attend in a private capacity.
Those attending are picked up from their homes in the morning, subject to safe access, and taken to Day Programme Centre at St Johns Church, Highgate, Roslyn.
During the day attendees will enjoy socialising and participating in a wide variety of leisure activities before being driven home later in the afternoon. Transport, morning tea, a main midday meal and afternoon tea are provided as part of the service and included in the cost.
The Leslie Groves Day Programme is designed to meet a variety of goals – physical, social, emotional and occupational.
Participants are provided with a variety of stimulating and enjoyable activities which maintain cognitive, physical and social functioning. The activities are carefully designed so that participants can share their knowledge and skills. We feel that it is important to get to know each individual so we can incorporate their interests and life experiences into activities and discussions.
Our two facilitators, Wendy and Bob, have a combined 40 years experience working with older people and facilitating activity programmes. We would love to meet and discuss Day Programme options for you.
