Heartfelt visits as the Iona playgroup re-starts

When Covid-19 forced many changes in how we interact with one another, an Oamaru playgroup was forced to halt visits to our Iona residents.

The activity had been very popular with both young and old so to see it re-start has brought a lot of pleasure. Iona residents have a wonderful time with babies and toddlers, cuddling them, talking to them and watching them play.

The smiles, laughter and genuine happiness at meeting each other is a joy to behold!

Iona, our Enliven care home in Oamaru, has led the way in quality residential care for more than 60 years. The compassionate and experienced team are fully trained to provide excellent care to our residents, offering a wide range of activities, nutritious meals and medical care tailored for each person.

Beautifully positioned in large park-like grounds, residents love to watch the world outside from the comfort of the lounges; an ideal place to spend time with visiting friends and family.

Iona offers rest home and hospital level care for up to 79 residents, with a small secure dementia care unit. Respite and palliative care are also available. For more information on Iona please contact Stephenie Leith, Iona Manager, on 03 437 1870 or visit our Iona care home page.
