ABOUT US
HISTORY
- The Cottage is the former Opunake Maternity Hospital and in 1990 the local community set up a Charitable Trust and converted the facility into a Rest Home for the purposes of:
- (a) “Establishing a rest home which will provide both residential and day care accommodation and nursing and supporting care and attention (including the provision of meals with or without payment for the same) for elderly or disabled persons in Coastal Taranaki Area irrespective of age race creed.”
- (b) “Providing for the social welfare, care and comfort of elderly and disabled persons in any manner whatsoever.”
