Welcome to St John of God Halswell
St John of God Halswell is a specialist service
providing long term residential support for people with physical
and neurological disabilities aged between 16 and 65 years old in
both a residential and community homes setting.
The service aims to fill unmet need, be
innovative and maximise the quality of life for people with
physical disabilities and those with terminal illnesses. Integral
to our care are our Values of
Hospitality, Compassion, Respect, Justice and Excellence.
The residential facility is located amongst award winning gardens
in the Christchurch suburb of Halswell. The two Community Homes are located in nearby
Addington. At Halswell we also have three studio apartments available on a short to
medium term basis for physically disabled people requiring
accommodation.
Admission is
for people with disabilities such as multiple sclerosis,
Huntingtons disease, muscular dystrophy, motor neurone disease,
cerebral palsy, spina bifida, brain injury and spinal injury. If
vacancies exist, we can also accept people needing palliative care
and short term respite care.
