Based on an easy layout with wings extending out from a central communal lounge, with all bedrooms conveniently close to it and the dining room.

The Monte Vista Approach

Our Hospital Care

While Hospital-level care is usually provided within facilities we commonly call ‘rest homes’, it differs from rest home care because of the more sophisticated medical care provided to the resident. Monte Vista understands that hospital-level care requires specialised clinical expertise and equipment to manage the complex needs of each resident.

Our Medical Care

Our medical care is focused on firstly understanding, and then treating conditions in the best way possible. We do everything within our power to alleviate pain, increase mobility, and enhance the quality of the lives of our residents. With a team of specialist medical practitioners on call, you never have to doubt that your needs are going to be attended to.

“I liked the smiles and happy people I saw on my initial visits to Monte Vista Residential Care. I could see by the positive feedback from people who were already staying here and loving it that this was a place that people were happy to live in. Monte Vista has good food, a caring staff and an attractive garden. It is warm and friendly and gives peace of mind to the family who can take a break from worrying about me. I feel safe at night and don’t have to worry about falling, cooking, my health or bills.”

“I enjoy the fact that independence is encouraged. This means I can come and go as I please. I enjoy the staff, the meals and the extras that they do for us. I was pleased to be asked to be the Māori Advocate for Monte Vista and it’s good to see that the staff are learning about all cultures.”

Thelma

“I was in hospital and was unable to cope at home, so my daughter and I decided I would come to Monte Vista. I wouldn’t go to any other place in Taupō!! I get on so well with all the staff, they are marvellous. We have lots of fun and laughter. I feel so secure here, and warm and happy. I think I have the best room at Monte Vista because of the view of the mountains and lake. My family visit often and they are happy that I feel so settled. I enjoy the entertainment, especially the line dancers and the lady who comes to play the piano accordion. Every Monday the Piano Ladies come and we all do lots of singing. Kath and I always sing the Monte Vista theme song, which is ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary"

“What I like most about Monte Vista Residential Care is the scenery. I have people to talk to so I am not left on my own feeling lonely. I also enjoy the peace and quiet. Monte Vista has a friendly and listening staff and a good standard of care. I recommend living here because of the atmosphere. I liked the positive feedback from all the people who were already staying here and loving it.”
