Kenwyn is part of Te Aroha's history. First as an area and maternity hospital and then as a rest home, it has been a central part of the community for over 50 years. Trevor & Doreen Beer bought Kenwyn in 2009 and have extended the original building to include a beautiful large lounge room and wing with ensuites as well as refurbishing and extending the specialist Dementia wing. They continue to be involved in the business together with their daughter Debbie Beer, General Manager and Katherine McLeod Clinical Operations Manager to ensure the best care is provided.
Kenwyn is now certified for 59 residents, 20 in Rest Homes, 12 Hospitals 8 dual service (either rest home or hospital level) and 19 residents in the Stage III dementia unit, “Aroha House”.
At Kenwyn we believe we are here to provide quality care within a family atmosphere. We aim to maintain and improve the wellbeing of our residents by meeting individual needs, providing a safe environment and maintaining dignity. The respect we show to each other, our residents and their families is the basis of our philosophy.
We assist all residents to maintain their independence and involvement in decisions affecting their lives to the highest level possible for each individual. Along with members of our multidisciplinary team, we encourage resident and family/whanau input into care planning and implementation.
Our dedication to the care of our residents is shown in the way we work as a team, maintain open communication and provide a respectful and hospitable home. Our team of staff are dedicated to the care of our residents and ongoing education is undertaken to meet the changing needs of those in our care.

We offer specialised care for residents who need 24/7 registered nursing care because they have age related problems.
Delicious home cooked meals and fresh daily baking are provided from our own kitchen. Our cooks prepare meals to suit all dietary requirements.
The care is delivered and supervised by RNs who are trained, experienced and competent in delivering these special services.
Special care needs are professionally managed and we undertake to meet age related physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs. The Resident’s safety is promoted.
GP services are provided by Health Te Aroha and together with our Nurse Practitioner they attend the home regularly and work together with our Clinical OperationsManager and registered nursing staff to provide quality health care.
Weather permitting, outings are organised to local shops, parks, beaches and attractions. For many residents, we provide the opportunity to pick up on interests long forgotten but still enjoyable.
