Innovative Hospital Care at Radius Care

Aged care has changed considerably over the past few decades, and at Radius Care, they are proud to be at the forefront of innovation. They are not only one of the largest providers of aged care in New Zealand, but are also considered one of the best, and key to their success is the fact that they combine the latest, state-of-the-art facilities, services and practices with good old fashioned, down-to-earth Kiwi values and standards.

Radius Care cover the full range of accommodation and care options, from rest home and hospital level care right through to dementia, respite and palliative, and these broad offerings allow for 'ageing in place', so if any of their residents' needs change they are able to stay with them.

Hospital level careis the highest level of care given to residents at Radius Care, and is provided for those residents who have a significant disability and medical concerns. Expert assistance is delivered by a team of professionally trained doctors and nurses, 24 hours a day, and covers all aspects of personal care from medication and pain management to ongoing emotional support.

The term “hospital care” is a way to describe the amount of support, or “level of care” a resident needs. Some elderly residents need help with most things while others don’t need much help at all. Hospital care is given to elderly residents living in the hospital part of a Radius Care residence, that need a high level of support in all aspects of everyday life.

 Residents do go directly from their own home or a public hospital, but most often they have been receiving Rest Home and/or Dementia level care in a Radius Care facility. Residents’ mental state can range widely and includes people with dementia. This is because dementia residents’ who are unable to wander anymore due to reduced mobility, can be safely cared for in a hospital setting. 

Many residents move to hospital care at the end of their lives, when their care needs are increasing and changing. They need help to be available 24 hours a day for all aspects of personal care, medication, pain management and emotional support, so for more information on hospital care, respite care and rest homes please go to http://radiuscare.co.nz .
