Rest Home and Hospital

Glenwood staff work hard to make Glenwood as much like a private “family” home as possible. 

We value our relatively small size - with only 45 residents - our modern décor, spacious rooms all with heat pumps and ensuite, our enclosed courtyard and sunny garden setting.

 

Clinical Care

Excellent clinical care is provided 24/7 by our highly qualified team of registered nurses and health care assistants to ensure you receive the appropriate medical care the moment you need it.

 

Meals

Glenwood's on-site kitchen provides delicious, healthy meals and snacks, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal produce and variety, catering to individual needs and preferences. The tasty, menus are dietician approved and vary regularly. 

 

Morning and afternoon teas feature yummy home baked treats and Happy Hour on Fridays is a popular social occasion. Special events are celebrated throughout the year with special meals.

​

Bedrooms

Bedrooms are spacious, all have heatpumps so residents can enjoy their own comfort level.

 

All bedrooms have either individual or shared ensuites, are sunny and have pleasant outlooks.

​

Activities and Recreation

Glenwood’s Activities staff help residents to continue to enjoy their interests, or find new ones - whether they be art, music, exercise, singing, craft, flower arranging, gardening or outings - whatever appeals. A varied, daily programme of activities is available for residents to choose to enjoy if they wish.

 

When moving to Glenwood, residents are encouraged to bring mementos or a special piece of furniture from home. Familar and well-loved items transform a room into a space where people feel comfortable and at home.

​

Spiritual, Cultural, Mental,

Physical and Social Needs

The Glenwood approach recognises that needs go beyond general welfare - needs which are vital for individuals to be content. 

 

Glenwood's chaplain, Ruth, enjoys catching up with residents frequently and is available to give further support to residents or their families whenever required. 

 

Communion and special services are held regularly and Ruth will assist residents from other faith backgrounds to keep in touch with their own communities.

 

Weekly church services at Glenwood are also conducted by various local denominations.
