About Radius Millstream

Radius Millstream logo

A lot can be said through our hands — a welcome, a goodbye, a friendly embrace, a playful gesture, a sign of affection, or just the delivery of a cup of tea. At Radius Millstream, we offer more than just an extra set of hands; we strive to improve your life at the stage you're at.

Radius Millstream enjoys both a quiet, scenic location and close proximity to the amenities and conveniences of Ashburton and the wider area. Radius Millstream was purpose-built to provide expert nursing, dementia, palliative, and respite care on a permanent or short-stay basis. Our qualified and experienced registered nurses and staff deliver around-the-clock medical support with warmth, efficiency and respect. Our modern, private rooms are beautifully decorated and include spacious ensuites. Should residents wish to step out and socialise, there’s a wealth of communal space, including several lounge areas, a large living room with a big-screen TV, a library and an activity room.

The team at Radius Millstream fosters a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, making it feel like a second family. Plus, proximity to the Lochlea Village makes it easy for couples and friends with different care needs to stay connected.
