Rest Home and Dementia Care
COVID-19 LEVEL 2
New Zealand will move into Alert Level 2 from Thursday May 14 2020. This will mean restricting visiting to one person from each family and the need to make an appointment each time you visit. All visitors will be asked to comply with all the safety measures we have in place, please contact us for more information.
It is important that we remain vigilant during this time, since those in the wider community will be increasing their contact with others. COVID-19 continues to be a threat to health and thrives on physical proximity. It is necessary we maintain a precautionary approach. We want to thank you in advance for your cooperation in making these visits a success and wish you a very happy and safe reunion.

dementia unit
Community
Milton Court Dementia Care is specifically designed to meet the special needs of those with dementia. Our dementia care is provided within our home in two dedicated wings, Turquoise and Amber wings.
Small dementia unit wings give us the opportunity to know our residents and families.
In a smaller setting, staff can notice any changes that need attention. Research shows that people with dementia respond positively to surroundings that are relaxed, homely, easy to navigate and spacious. For these reasons, our Turquoise and Amber wings are purposely designed to be on a small scale with a home-like environment. Because of the small, intimate atmosphere, it is easier to decorate the room – linking the decor to the memory of residents.
We encourage residents to carry out small tasks throughout the day, such as gardening, cleaning, hanging out washing, folding clothing, etc. This can help retain self-esteem and involvement in daily life. We have a dedicated activity co-ordinator who organises activities, such as arts and crafts, walking to the beach, sing-along music, and one-to-one involvement. The activities result in meaningful social interaction. This interaction enriches the resident’s physical and cognitive wellbeing through their participation.
