Radius Hawthorne is located on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac bordering the Christchurch suburbs of Fendalton and Ilam. Our refurbished hospital and dementia care facility provides ‘round-the-clock care for those who can no longer manage entirely on their own.
Residents requiring hospital-level care are accommodated across two wings, with a number of the rooms having an ensuite and kitchenette. Sunlight streams through the large windows and doors, allowing plenty of natural light and access to our beautifully landscaped, award-winning gardens. We also have two secure dementia wings, each with a protected garden area, furniture and shades. For peace of mind, CCTV has been installed in this area.
At Radius Hawthorne our aim is to make life as fulfilling as possible for each individual resident. We encourage our residents to remain active, helping them pursue their hobbies and passions, while also providing some of life’s little luxuries. When you choose to make Hawthorne your home, we’ll make your complete wellbeing a priority—that’s why we offer more than just medical care.

"Any concerns we had with dad were handled well by nurse management. Carers made an effort to interact with dad and this kept his spirits up. During dad's passing staff could not have been more helpful and caring towards us his family. We appreciated this immensely. While no care home is perfect, we found Brunner wing a safe, attentive facility with staff who really seemed to care."

What has kept me in this work is the people. Being part of… someone’s day, getting to know their stories, and helping create a place where they feel comfortable and cared for still feels incredibly meaningful to me. At Hawthorne, we support residents across a range of care needs, including rest home, hospital-level, dementia and end of life, and I value being part of that full continuum of care. We also have a women-only wing for dementia care, which has made a real difference for the women who live there, and has brought out their personalities.
I think people living with dementia are often misunderstood, and a big part of my role is helping families see the person beyond the diagnosis. That takes honesty, patience and also means not judging anyone for finding it hard. Because it is hard, and pretending otherwise does not help anyone.
A good day at Hawthorne is when residents and carers are enjoying themselves, because that matters more than people might think. Residents with dementia notice the energy in a room to a much larger extent than they do words. Happy carers help create a happy home.
Outside of work, gardening and spending time with my wife and family keeps me grounded. We have two cats, and I’m still making my case for getting another dog, but so far the jury is not in my favour. I’m very much a “what you see is what you get” kind of person and have a strong belief in the care we provide here at Hawthorne.
