Hi all, Unfortunately, due to the Covid restrictions we are unable to hold our BBQ in the Spinal Unit this year.
But we will still be holding a BBQ – please find details of the date and the new venue which will be open to all members … We look forward to seeing you!
There is parking in the area and toilet facilities and there is also a café
Fully furnished, even with a hospital bed with lift lower/ back up down etc, as needed.
People need only bring their clothes, their shower chair arrangement and themselves.
It is two bedrooms, the second bedroom designed for a carer/family member/support person to use, with a shared accessible open bathroom in between
An additional non-accessible guest/carer toilet, wrap-around decking, fully ramped and off-street parking available finish the package
Furnished with Kiwi memorabilia and items not only decorative but functional, such as the full Crown Lynn dinner set, there is plenty to draw the eye, and start conversations over.
Set in a 1.6 Hectare farm which has free range chooks, a hen house and fresh eggs every day…petting sheep, a friendly small dog and over-friendly large lazy farm cat, there is ample room to feel away from it all yet close enough in proximity to feel connected to the main house.
Disability is the norm in our environment. Something sorely missed when discharged from the Spinal Unit. I myself am a tetraplegic now although when I was at the Spinal Unit I was standing and transferring on one leg paraplegic. A degenerative disease caused through multiple spinal cord surgeries has seen me since losing my remainder leg, my trunk and recently my arms have started being impacted on.
My 34-year-old son, who lives here with me, is a high functioning intellectually impaired young man so abnormal is normal to us.
Costs are related to whether requirements are short or medium term, how many people are to be housed and if they are funded or private clients, however a standard one night stay for two people is around the $105 mark.
