Iona has two separate wings, one for less severely impacted dementia patients (known as D4), and the other with for those requiring specialised hospital-level care (known as D6 psychogeriatric care). D6 is the highest level of dementia care available in New Zealand.

We are the sole provider of psychogeriatric care in Southland. Care is also provided to people from the Whakatipu Basin, Wanaka and Central Otago areas.

Dementia can be daunting, scary and difficult to come to terms with for both the individual affected and their family, but it is important to know you are not alone.

Our trained staff are here to support families as well as residents, We know how important family involvement is and work with loved ones to ensure the needs and wishes of the family are also met.
