Description
Just a 10-minute drive North of Timaru, residents of Radius Elloughton Gardens appreciate the convenience of our Marchwiel location. A notable feature of our facility is the stately old homestead originally built in 1893 and steeped in South Canterbury history. Our residents enjoy dining in the homestead, which offers sea views on one side and mountain views on the other.
Our facility has extensive gardens, including three courtyards with entertainment and BBQ areas for residents, their families and friends to enjoy. Our brand new hospital wing opened in 2017, enhancing our ability to provide state-of-the-art hospital care. Natural light beams through our rooms, hallways, and the spacious living areas where friends and family can gather. Additionally, a number of our rooms open out to their own patio.
Our caring Radius Elloughton Gardens team fosters a friendly family atmosphere between residents, families and staff. It is important to us that you feel valued when you choose to make Radius Elloughton Gardens home. Additionally, our facility’s proximity to Radius Elloughton Village makes it easy for couples and friends with differing care needs to maintain close ties.
