At Rawhiti Estate, aged care goes far beyond meeting clinical needs. It’s about creating a fulfilling, personalised experience for every resident. Richard highlights some of the key features that set Rawhiti apart, starting with its strong care philosophy and high staff-to-resident ratio. It means staff have the time to build genuine relationships with residents and provide thoughtful, attentive care.

Equally important is the lifestyle on offer. Rawhiti Estate’s activity programme is inclusive and flexible, designed to cater to a wide range of needs and preferences. All activities are communal and open to every resident, including those living with memory loss, and regular outings ensure that life extends well beyond the four walls of the facility. Routines are never rigid. Residents are encouraged to follow their own rhythm each day.

Whether it’s joining a group activity, spending time outdoors, or enjoying a quiet afternoon with a book, the staff supports each person’s choices with respect and understanding. It’s this balance of professional care, meaningful connection and personal freedom that makes Rawhiti Estate feel like home, for residents and their families alike.
