Otumarama Rest Home

Nestled in the heart of Nelson, Otumarama Rest Home has been a cherished cornerstone of our community for over five decades, providing exceptional care and services to those seeking a home away from home during their time of need. Since our establishment in 1968, we have consistently upheld the values of respect, compassion, and dignity, ensuring each resident feels cared for as family. Our rest and convalescent home is more than just a place; it's a sanctuary where healing takes place, both physically and emotionally. We offer an array of services tailored to our residents' needs, including laundry services, nursing care, and medication assistance. Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who truly care about each resident's wellbeing, fostering an environment that promotes health and happiness. We are deeply committed to the Māori community, offering culturally sensitive care that respects their unique traditions and beliefs. We understand the importance of preserving cultural identity and strive to create an atmosphere where all residents feel at ease. Our team is well-versed in Māori health and wellbeing services, ensuring our Māori residents receive the best possible care during their stay. However, Otumarama Rest Home isn't just for those seeking convalescent care. We also offer maternity services for new mothers who wish to rest and recuperate in a supportive environment. Our team is equipped to provide attentive care, ensuring both mother and baby receive the best possible start to their journey together. Hospital transfers can be challenging times, but at Otumarama Rest Home, we strive to make this transition as smooth as possible. We work closely with local hospitals to facilitate seamless transitions for our residents, providing peace of mind during difficult times. At Otumarama Rest Home, we believe that care goes beyond the physical aspects; it's about fostering connections and creating meaningful experiences. We welcome you to come and see for yourself what makes us more than just a rest home - it's our people, our culture, and our commitment to providing exceptional care that truly sets us apart.
