Otumarama offers rest home and hospital care in a private setting with beautiful grounds, courtyards and views to the mountains beyond. Our focus of care is independence. We encourage our residents to do for themselves what they can, while they can. 

Otumarama ensures there is a registered nurse on shift 24 hours a day. Staff have particular skill in psychiatric care and behaviour management.

The activities programme is run by a qualified diversional therapist. There’s plenty to do for those who are in the mood for recreation. In the Otumarama common room, residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible. There is a computer workstation, TV lounge and dining room. The activities programme includes crafts, games and quizzes, exercise groups, live music, church services, guest speakers and scenic excursions, just to mention a few. Community pets include two cats, canaries and a tropical fish tank. There’s a weekly happy hour and special get-togethers are organized for annual celebrations, such as Easter, Mid-Winter and Christmas.
