About Ross Home (a Presbyterian Support Otago Enliven home)
A change of address, not of lifestyle, is how we like to describe a person’s move into a Presbyterian Support Otago home or hospital.
Residents continue to have personal choices – when to get up in the morning, go on outings, be involved in activities…daily life is determined by individual needs and preferences.
Like all our facilities, Ross Home & Hospital has a Presbyterian foundation and welcomes people of all backgrounds and cultures.
Ross Home is in Dunedin's North East Valley. It is renown for its quality care, stunning gardens and courtyards, and the popular cafe where residents, family, friends and community members can while away an hour in comfort.
Offering a wide range of services, Ross rest home and hospital rooms are always in demand, and has a long, proud tradition of providing quality services.
The staff does all it can to help residents and families experience a good transition to living at Ross, and welcomes family input into creating the right ‘personal feel’ for their loved one.
Ross also offers:
Hospital care
Demential care
Psychogeriatric Hospital care
Independent living - rental
Enliven - Vaccination Policy
In line with Government requirements and PSO’s commitment to health and safety, all Enliven staff and volunteers are fully vaccinated. We would prefer that all residents are vaccinated, and we can facilitate this for those who are not yet vaccinated.

Special features
Ross Home is an integral part of Dunedin's North East Valley and a highly sought-after home for older people seeking residential care.
The exceedingly high standard of meals is always commented on by residents and visitors alike, and Ross Cafe, just inside the main doors to the attractive premises, is a popular place to catch up with family and friends.
All Presbyterian Support Otago residences have a policy of valuing the lives of older people, and this is reflected in the many services and facilities offered.
Staffing levels in our hospitals are at the higher end for the sector, and a large percentage of caregivers have formal industry qualifications. A high level of physiotherapy input is also put in place, with a focus on maintaining or improving current mobility.
Ross Home is purpose-built and maintained to a high level, and residents have plenty of room in which to enjoy the wide range of activities continually available to them.
Interests & activities
Maintaining regular sporting and community activity our individual residents had before moving to Ross, is encouraged. We believe residents should maintain the connection they had with their family, friends and community, and will do all we can to ensure those connections are kept.
In-house, we have an extensive activities programme that includes exercise, quiz sessions, newspaper readings, guest speakers and entertainers, and Happy Hour is a very popular event.
There is great emphasis on outings, undertaken in comfortable vans, with events ranging from concerts to garden visits.
Some residents prefer to undertake hobbies and interests privately, or on a one-to-one basis, and we are happy to accommodate them.
