Life in this Arvida Living Well Community revolves around helping every resident to enjoy a fulfilling day.
We do this by getting to know our residents on a friend-to-friend level, so that we know what they love doing and how they like to shape their day. Some are early risers; others love a sleep in. At Ilam, individuality is encouraged and embraced.
Our community is set in a garden landscape with paved walkways, park areas and mature trees. When the weather allows, we use our outdoor areas as much as we can for activities and social gatherings. Getting our residents together and encouraging the bonds of friendship is an important part of our community culture.
Home sweet home that’s conveniently close to Christchurch’s remarkable parks and gardens
Within Ilam’s beautifully landscaped grounds there are tastefully-decorated serviced apartments, super-comfortable rest home rooms, a hospital and our specialised dementia household. Residents can participate in crafts, games, movies, bowls, a weekly church service and fitness programmes. We also have an entertainment programme and regular outings in the community van.
One of the most convenient Christchurch rest homes you’ll ever find, Ilam is handy to the Botanic Gardens, Hagley Park and Ilam Gardens, so there’s always somewhere beautiful to go when you feel like an excursion. The Bush Inn Centre indoor mall is just around the corner, for shopping and catching up with friends at a café.
