About Woburn Home by Enliven
Woburn Home is hugely popular. Its relaxed and engaging atmosphere leaves you feeling warm and assured. This well-respected local icon is situated in sought-after Wai-iti Crescent, Lower Hutt.
Woburn Home offers hospital level care for older people with high clinical needs, complex medical conditions and/or those who need support to do simple daily tasks.
At Enliven, we create age-friendly communities where people are happy and thrive regardless of their age or ability. As well as providing day-to-day support and clinical care, we take into account the physical, social, emotional, and cultural needs of each person we support.
Our elder-directed philosophy means we put residents at the heart of everything we do. When you or your loved one moves into an Enliven home, you’re joining a unique and special community. This means we work to ensure the elders of Woburn Home have companionship, variety and spontaneity, fun, meaningful activity, and purpose in their lives. It ensures that elders are involved in decisions that relate to both their personal wellbeing and what happens at their home.
Our staff are not only highly trained, they’re also friendly, caring and embrace our elder-directed philosophy of care. Our nurses are on-duty 24-hours-a-day and the doctor also visits regularly. We are in regular contact with residents to ensure all clinical needs are met.
As an Enliven home, we’re proud to be more than just ‘family friendly’. At Woburn Home, your family is part of our family, which means you’ll find there are no set visiting times. After all, family, friends, and the community play a big part in life here.
