If a resident who lives in the secure dementia care unit at Rawhiti Estate in Remuera needs more care and support as their condition advances, there may come a time they need a higher level of clinical care. Ongoing assessments help determine the best next steps to ensure that their health and wellbeing are fully supported.

Richard explains that, depending on availability, a resident may transition from the secure unit to a multi-purpose care suite or hospital-level care. If there is no availability at the time, the team will work closely with the resident’s family and the Needs Assessment Service Coordination (NASC) team to find an appropriate solution that provides the level of care the person needs.

Leticia highlights that the team will be there with every resident from start to finish, no matter how their situation changes. This is possible because Rawhiti Estate in Remuera offers all levels of aged care on-site, from retirement village to rest home living and from specialist dementia care to hospital-level care. Once a person lives at Rawhiti Estate, they will always have priority access to the care options they need.
