In New Zealand, care homes (also known as rest homes) offer different levels of care; rest home level care, hospital level care, dementia level care , and psychogeriatric level care.
At rest home level care, individuals may require help with things like personal hygiene, meals, and medication. Some individuals may have some memory loss or a form of dementia, which can usually be supported, providing a safe and suitable environment for their needs.
Rest home level care is suitable for those who can generally mobilise independently with supervision or minimal assistance (i.e. using a walking frame) and require support with tasks like bathing and dressing. Rest home level care is designed for individuals who need a higher level of support than independent living but don't require the extensive support for hospital level care.
Bupa rest home level care provides assisted living, meaning residents receive assistance with personal care and daily activities, while still maintaining a degree of independence. Residents requiring rest home level care may have diverse needs, with some memory loss or cognitive decline, and the care provided in a rest home is designed to be supportive and safe.
