About Saint Clair Park Residential Centre

St Clair Park Residential Centre is an adult care home at 287 Middleton Road in Corstorphine, Dunedin. The website says it cares for people with complex needs, including mental health needs, intellectual disability, dementia and aged care, and accepts ACC clients. It has three units, for intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and older people, each with its own courtyard and a rural outlook. We hear the home is currently taking short stay admissions, and availability can be checked by phone or email. The website says it has a contract with Health New Zealand.

Meals come from a local food service, with winter and summer menus, alternatives on request, and catering for special dietary needs. The website describes a daily activity programme with group and individual activities, from art and card games to walks, sit dancing and indoor bowls. Transport is provided for activities, doctors' appointments and the hairdresser. Reviewers praise the staff in the dementia unit, and mention two dogs and cats on site. One says it is not the flashiest place in town, and another found it hard to locate while roadworks were under way.
