Ranfurly Residential Home
The Ranfurly Residential Home provides twenty four hour support
for permanent residents, as well as offering short term respite
care for caregivers with intellectually disabled dependents.
Residents are encouraged to develop a realistic level of independence
based on their individual capabilities and participate as
much as possible in normal everyday activities. Our objective
is to create a family/whanau environment where residents and
staff can interact with one another in a homely atmosphere.
The home-like environment allows resident interaction and
the building of friendships while also pursuing individual
interests.
Most residents attend the Activity Centre during the day
or participate in either paid or voluntary work. As a family/whanau
run organisation the Society has an 'open door' policy that
encourages family/whanau and friends to visit at any time
and they are welcome to participate in any aspect of the society
life. The home-like environment allows resident interaction
and the building of friendships while also pursuing individual
interests. With three large lounges, an outdoor patio area
and spacious gardens, there is plenty of space for residents
who may want to spend time on their own.
Staff provide twenty four hour support and are trained to
cope with any special needs or health problems. Staff are
encouraged to work in a supportive rather than a directive
role, which encourages residents to make their own decisions.
To aid this process we hold bi-monthly meetings where residents
can air their concerns and talk about their goals for self
development.
Ranfurly Residential Flat
Based in the Ranfurly Complex, but separate from the house
is a flat that was opened in 2007. This flat has three residents
who are supported in the living skills programme in the evenings
and weekends by staff who help with life skill training such
as meals, shopping, cleaning etc. These residents are encouraged
to live as independently as possible and undertake lifes usual
household tasks.
