Ivan Ward Centre

Each household has been designed to feel like a home: residents have their own private room with ensuite and share a spacious lounge with open-plan dining and kitchen area leading to a large outdoor deck and seating. When residents’ whānau and friends come to visit, they’re also able to use the household kitchen and even stay overnight in the den/whānau room. The Ivan Ward Centre includes a shop, hair salon and consulting rooms for visiting health professionals within the Centre.

Ivan Ward Centre provides hospital-level care and is staffed with registered nurses 24/7, who are assisted by caregivers and other professional staff. All staff have ongoing training on health and safety issues and the particular needs of current residents. GPs and a Nurse Practitioner also routinely visit.

Each household has:

• lounge with fireplace
• one large dining table, room for all members of the household to dine together
• domestic open plan kitchen for residents, whānau and staff
• a den or whānau room for residents and families to use during visits, or for whānau to stay overnight (fold-out couch bed)
• a guest toilet close to the whānau rooms
