Our
philosophy
At Aria Park we provide a friendly, warm, home environment.
We encourage and support individuals within our community
to make the most of their abilities, and where possible,
increase their confidence so they can grow and enjoy as much
independence as possible.
Our goal is to provide you with your own space, where you
can welcome friends, family/whanau as visitors in private
comfortable surroundings.
We know each of you has different needs, aspirations, values
and customs. We will nurture your individuality, encourage
independence and assist you in leading as full a life as possible.
We have a loyal, committed and caring staff, some of whom
have been with us for many years, and who come from a
diverse cross section of society. They bring with them many
skills and experiences that will contribute to the colour and
contentment of your daily life.
We have a heavy focus on on-going education at Aria Park, so
staff are all highly trained. But it also means we work hard to
make sure family and Residents themselves are kept fully up to
date on the best methods of care.
We are committed to safety management for all Residents,

Make
yourself at
home
Aria Park offers several different levels of care including
rest home and hospital care. We have registered nurses
on site 24 hours a day who are ably assisted by our
care team. We provide supported living in our studio
apartments located in our main care facility, and also in
our boutique one-bedroom apartments located next door
to the main facility.
No matter what part of Aria Park you live in, you are in
a secure and safe environment with access to 24-hour
onsite emergency care.
Having several different levels of support on one site
also means that if your needs change, we can continue
to provide you with exceptional care at the same facility
which has become your home. And if one member of a
married couple should require more intensive care, their
partner is nearby and easily able to make frequent visits.
Aria Park is located in the heart of Epsom so Residents
have local shops, Cornwall Park, and major bus routes
right on their doorstep. The shopping hub of Newmarket
is just a few minutes up the road and Greenlane Clinical
Centre is nearby.

Managing meals
It has been said an army marches on its stomach. You
will have been used to preparing your own meals, and
will have your own likes and dislikes, as well as your own
routines and habits about what you eat and when. We
recognise that a big part of moving into our community
will be getting familiar with the food we prepare you.
We will listen to your individual needs and, where
possible, do our best to meet those needs while
ensuring we are meeting the needs of the many
individuals who make up our community.
We cater for specialist dietary requirements from allergies
and intolerances such as diary or gluten to medical
dietary needs for conditions such as diabetes. We also
cater for vegetarians.
Aria Park has a dedicated team of kitchen staff who
prepare, cook and serve high quality meals. Because we
prepare all meals on site, we can ensure a high standard
of beautifully presented home-style food.
At Aria Park lunch is the main meal of the day with
service provided in the dining room. Dinner is a lighter
meal also served in the dining room. Breakfast is served
in your own bedroom.
