Brian Wells House, located in the Ivan Ward Centre is a secure household for specialised dementia care or what we now like to refer to as memory support. The 18 residents are offered as fulfilling and enjoyable time as possible in a homely, caring environment. The environment is safe and secure.

Brian Wells household has:

• its own 24/7 care partners
• lounge area
• dining area for members of the household to dine together
• domestic open plan kitchen for residents, whanau and staff
• A lovely garden where residents and families can enjoy the outdoors

Each resident’s care room has:

• its own ensuite 
• a fully adjustable electric hospital bed
• a wardrobe and other basic furnishings are available if desired
• a private phone may be installed in any room (rentals are charged to residents through Telecom)
• smart call bell system

We follow best practise and research by not providing TVs in our dementia care suites. Rather, we encourage these residents not to isolate themselves, and engage with other people instead.

A premium room charge of $70 per day (GST inclusive) applies to all rooms in Brian Wells House.
