    Resthaven Lifestyle Choices Plus

    Resthaven Lifestyle Choices Plus offers some additional enhanced services that are available for purchase by, or on behalf of, residents.

    Our Companion Service was introduced in 2017 across all of our homes and was very well received by residents and families. Many residents have taken advantage of being able to book one of our capable and trusted staff members to accompany them on a personal outing, to appointments, or have additional personal visits on site.

    High Tea brochureIn response to feedback received from residents, we are trialling a new exercise program at some sites aimed at assisting balance, improving core strength and physical fitness. Classes are run three times a week by a qualified physiotherapist and residents with private health extras cover can claim back some of the expense.

    We are also exploring additional catering options such as offering a special High Tea event or supplying a barbeque or picnic pack for a family get together.

    We are so pleased to offer these additional services to interested residents and families to further enhance their quality of life.

    Your Rights and Responsibilities

    At Resthaven, we are committed to supporting and protecting the rights of our residents and clients, while recognising their responsibilities as well.

    This commitment is part of our ongoing aim to deliver high quality services, meeting the needs of the people we support.

    Living in a residential community environment at Resthaven involves being accorded certain rights and accepting the responsibilities associated with living with others. Resthaven encourages feedback for quality improvement.

    From time to time, meetings for all residents are held to discuss issues and planning matters. These meetings are a useful forum for issues and opinions to be raised with management.

    Resthaven encourages feedback and welcomes your suggestions for improvement.
