Brightwater Home - Palmerston North
Brightwater Home in Palmerston North is set among attractive grounds with courtyards, established trees and beautiful gardens.
We have provided quality care in the Manawatu for over 50 years. Our experienced team is dedicated to meeting each resident's unique needs and to making their families and friends feel welcome.
Brightwater supports older people who cannot manage at home, enabling them to maintain their independence and privacy in home-like surroundings. Our services are designed to take care of residents' day-to-day needs and emotional wellbeing while maintaining strong links with their families and wider community.
Activities and community networks
We offer wonderful companionship and a stimulating recreation programme, with regular outings and visits from entertainers. Our home maintains close contact with schools, Age Concern and other community groups.
Rest Home
Moving into residential care can be a positive decision for everyone concerned. Our Rest Home supports older people who cannot manage at home. Enabling you to maintain your independence and privacy in home-like surroundings is our goal.
Hospital care
Our highly trained team delivers hospital level services in a warm, caring environment for people with complex needs.
Brightwater Home works with local GPs to ensure our clients' medical needs are met. Residents may choose to retain a relationship with their own GP if this is practical.
Dementia care
At Brightwater we look beyond the diagnosis and treat people with dementia as individuals, recognising their life experiences. We have the resources and networks to ensure the best possible quality of life for all concerned.
Our care for people with dementia includes safe, peaceful environments that foster companionship with other residents. We offer a varied and meaningful recreation programme that includes regular outings and close contact with community groups, including the local Alzheimer's Association.
Dementia respite and day activity programmes
If you're caring for a person with dementia at home it's important that you have support that enables you to take time out. Your health and wellbeing are just as important as that of the person you are caring for. Brightwater provides a safe, caring environment where people with dementia can spend time with others and enjoy meaningful activities together.
Access our services
Accessing any of our services is easy and worry-free. You can be referred by a needs assessment agency or your doctor, or you can call us directly. Enliven will fit around your requirements - all you need to do is ask.
