Christchurch Specialised Hospital
Throughout Christchurch we have specialised hospitals that provide geriatric, psychogeriatric or palliative care options. People with dementia or enduring mental health problems that sometimes result in behaviours of concern may require more nursing support, along with appropriate behaviour management solutions. It is very important the environment is safe and secure, as well as being comfortable and friendly.
Our Christchurch specialised hospital care staff are well qualified and highly competent, with a special interest in helping residents who have dementia or require mental health assistance.

Christchurch Dementia Care
Our registered nurses, plan, implement and evaluate each resident’s care, working with their family and the carers who become a vital part of the resident’s life. Dementia care includes overseeing the resident’s general health and well-being, ensuring they enjoy delicious, nutritious meals and have ample opportunity to interact with others.
In Christchurch we have seven Care Homes where we offer a caring environment for residents with dementia. This wide choice means residents often continue living within a local community that is familiar and reassuring to them.

Psychogeriatric care in Christchurch
Nurses and caregivers have the understanding and skills needed to meet the challenges associated with psycho-geriatric illnesses. They aim to provide more than what is necessary, going about work in a sympathetic and friendly way, making residents feel respected and valued.
Staff will also look after the resident’s overall physical health with the same dedication. Physical wellbeing and comfort have a great bearing on a person’s state of mind, and psychogeriatric assistance aims to make life as comfortable as possible for residents.
