Radius Residential Care is a specialist health care provider
for older New Zealanders.
Our innovative approach to care allows us to maintain the
well-being, dignity and independence of our residents.
The success of the Radius lifestyle can be attributed to
caring, qualified people who recognise and meet the special
needs of each individual.
An Important
Decision
Choosing a residential care facility - for yourself,
a family member or a friend - is potentially one of the
most important decisions you'll ever make. As with any
big decision, a systematic approach combined with listening
to your instincts will help you to find the best solution.
It's good to draw up a plan that identifies what you need
- ask for assistance from family, friends or your GP.
Here are some tips that could help:
1). Assess your current situation. What are
the challenges/problems that have brought you to this
point?
2). Set goals for your solution. What do you want to achieve
with this life style change?
3). Gather information. Find out about the various options
for care in your area. Make comparisons.
4). Pinpoint the best fit. Which of the alternatives feels
the best, and best suits your needs?
5). Trial and evaluation. Trial periods are perfectly
normal in the residential care sector. At the end of the
trial, evaluate the facility to ensure it meets your needs.
An attractive,
safe environment
Radius Residential Care residents have space to call
their own.
They can socialise with other residents in large 'family'
areas.
Facilities are designed to maximise sunshine, views and
gardens to create a living environment that's attractive
for residents and their visitors. Special features provide
the highest levels of safety, comfort, mobility and security.
Stimulating
activities
Each of our communities has its own recreational programme,
tailored to residents' preferences and the opportunities
available nearby.
Activities such as outings, exercise sessions, live musical
performances and hobby clubs help to keep life stimulating
and entertaining.
Qualified
caregivers who love their work
Radius caregivers and nursing staff are chosen for their
qualifications and their dedication to residents' quality
of life.
Their professional skills are fine-tuned through in-house
training programmes.
An ongoing staff development plan helps to ensure that
our people stay up to date with new developments in nursing
care.
Enjoyable,
nutritious meals
The food served in our Radius Residential communities
are designed around the preferences and nutritional needs
of our residents.
Special dietary requirements are easily catered for.
A warm
welcome to visitors
We encourage friends and family to visit frequently,
to feel at home and to take part in whatever's going on.
Radius residents can go out whenever they like - for a
walk, a Sunday drive, a shopping trip or a family event.
Costs
and subsidies
Talk to us about what it costs to live in a Radius Residential
Care community. Financial assistance is often available
in the form of a Residential Care Subsidy. To find out
about financial assistance, talk to one of our facility
managers.
Every
community is different
There are many Radius Residential Care communities throughout
New Zealand, caring for over 800 clients.
They all share a commitment to the highest standard of
care, but they also have many differences. Some are located
in urban environments; others are in the heart of the
country. Some focus on activities and a busy social life;
others are peaceful and quiet. Specific information about
the Radius Residential Care community in your area is
avaiable on our facility locator.
Any questions?
We're aware that choosing a residential care provider
takes time and careful thought.
