Beattie Home is a 36 bed, rural community-focused not-for-profit, residential care facility and 20 bed dementia Home. There is a 19 unit village adjacent to the Home. Papakainga Homestead provides dementia day stay and a community activity programme is also supported within Beattie Home during weekdays.
Beattie Home is governed by Beattie Community Trust (Inc) and managed by a Registered Nurse, experienced in Aged Care. The Home is located in Ōtorohanga and is within walking / wheelchair distance to the township.
We have an experienced Clinical Nurse Leader who, with 2 other R/Ns and 2 E/Ns, works with a wonderful team of caregivers (buddies) to support all residents and their families.
We provide activities 7 days a week with an Activities Coordinator overseeing a team of DTs and dedicated activity staff.
A large number of ancillary staff support the team and residents in all aspects of living and working at Beattie Home and Papakainga Homestead.
Most staff are of long work history with Beattie Home, one big family!
With encouragement we especially welcome school leavers to commence their careers in the Aged Care sector.
We also support students from Otago University and Wintec to complete their practicals with us.

Beattie Home is situated at the south end of Ōtorohanga opposite Countdown, on the main street 172 Maniapoto St.
The main entrance is identified with a sign in front of the building.
Access to the Wilshier Centre is also off the main street, just before the main entrance with available parking.
Papakainga Homestead's physical address is 16 Orahiri Tce, parking there is available outside the building.
Beattie Home has 3 vehicles to assist residents, staff and volunteers with transport. A small car, a larger SUV and a mobility van with a certified hoist for wheelchair access, are all owned by Beattie Community Trust Inc. (All purchased with funding over the years by our wonderful community.)
Beattie Home is already on the main street so a short walk, wheelchair or mobility scooter ride make access/ transport to town and amenities very easy.
We have ample parking available on site with disability parking and access at all entrances.
The surrounding streets also have plenty of parking for when we hold big events.
