The website for Avonlea Rest Home Dementia Care (located in Addington, Christchurch) states that: "We welcome new residents and enjoy getting to know them. People are encouraged to continue with familiar roles and remain involved in the running of their home."
It continues to say that: "Our residents enjoy a wide range of activities, outings and community involvement. Family become part of the community we have and we encourage their continuing involvement in their loved ones' lives. We have several programmes available for family support."
The services that Avonlea Dementia Care include: "Residential capacity for caring for 64 people. This is achieved by the division of the facility into 6 separate homes. All of the homes differ slightly in design, which gives the feeling of entering a different environment with a unique character. Each one has an open plan kitchen/dining room/lounge area. This is in keeping with New Zealand house design and replicates the interior of many homes."
It also says that: "Residents are able to access the kitchen area, and residents are able to take part in homely activities such as sweeping the floor, wiping down the benchtop or drying the dishes.
Diversional therapists often conduct cooking activities with residents in these kitchen areas, and the smell of fresh baking often greets visitors on arrival."
