Rest Home Care

Care philosophy

Living life to the full, as independently as possible, with support, medical care and pastoral care on hand 24/7.

Living space

Rooms are larger than most (17 metres square with a full ensuite), so there is plenty of space to bring the things you treasure. All rooms have a built-in wardrobe, vanity and storage and are pre-wired for Sky, phone and Internet. And best of all, every room opens onto a deck or patio.
There are also three communal lounges (with Wifi available), as well as a large dining room and activities space.

Level of care

For older people requiring assistance with many of the activities of daily living and some aspects of personal care, as well as those with a degree of dementia or cognitive decline who have not been assessed as needing a dementia unit. We also offer short-term respite care to give family caregivers a break or when an older person needs extra care to recuperate.

Community

A mini bus is available to take you on organised outings. Volunteers help with a range of activities as well as friendship and companionship, and HBH Senior Living is a member of the Eden Alternative, a philosophy of care based on helping older people to have a life of purpose, meaning and variety.

Wellbeing

We offer chaplaincy and weekly church services and have an onsite shop, library trolley, weekly Happy Hour and hairdresser, as well as a range of daily activities, regular social functions and celebrations. For those with green fingers, a raised garden is available and animal lovers can enjoy our resident pets. Residents may also be able to bring their own pet (please enquire).

Industry endorsements

As a non-profit organisation, HBH aims to be as affordable as possible. Our premium fees are some of the lowest in Auckland. A premium is a charge over and above the daily fee set by the Ministry of Health, for services that fall outside of those contracted by the DHB. At the rest home, our premium charges relate to the size of the room and the facilities available.

• All our rooms in the rest home are premium rooms with a full private en-suite bathroom. 
• The premium charge ranges from $56 to $67 per day, inclusive of GST.
