Radius Care’s residential aged care facilities are among the best in New Zealand, with their residents at the heart of everything they do, and in this article they look at ageing and social development. Radius Care supports people going through all the different stages of ageing, including their rest home care through to times when they will need more support.

Radius Care provides Hospital, Dementia and Palliative care as well, and their patients feel more secure if they are in an environment where they know the people and feel totally cared for and safe. Older people requiring residential care have a choice of facility at Radius Care, who cover the full range of accommodation and care option, allowing for ‘ageing in place’

Hospital level care 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.

Short-term stays, or respite care services, are available to those who are unwell or who simply are in need of extra support. Whether it's for a couple days or a few of weeks, it allows the usual carer to take a break and gives the patient a refreshing change of scene. 

For those nearing the end of their lives, specialist medical services and clinical staff are available to meet ongoing comfort and care requirements. This includes everything from pain and symptom management through to emotional, cultural and spiritual support, as well as communication and involvement with family members.

For residents with dementia Radius Care offer specifically targeted services, specialist staff and secure environments to ensure maximum wellbeing and safety at all times. Maintaining the best possible quality of life, in a calming, comfortable and safe setting takes priority.

Radius Care’s rest homes cater to those who are mostly independent, but may require some assistance with personal care and general day-to-day activities. At this level residents tend to be active, engaged and able, and enjoy taking part in community life, so for more information on aged care, rest homes Christchurch and rest homes please go to http://radiuscare.co.nz .
