Where full-time care
feels like home.

Our facility

The dignity of full-time care without the coldness of an institution.

Our residential facility is designed around one principle: every elder should feel they live in a home, not a ward. Community meals, personal rooms, daily activities, and the same caregivers every day.

Private rooms & belongings

Each elder has their own room — personalised with their own belongings, photos, and familiars. Privacy is not a luxury; it is a baseline.

24/7 nurse-supervised care

A qualified nurse reviews each resident's care plan daily. Medication, vitals, and health changes are monitored continuously — so nothing is missed overnight.

A home for the season
when most is needed.

Some elders reach a stage where home or day care — however good — cannot safely meet their needs around the clock. Our residential facility is the answer: consistent, compassionate, and never institutional.

Families remain closely involved. Open-visit policies, regular family briefings, and a transparent care record mean relatives are partners, not bystanders.

"I am proud of what AgeWatch is doing — and I have the testimony to prove that this service restores dignity and changes lives."

Transition to residential care

How families move into residential care.

We guide every family through the transition with patience — because moving a loved one into residential care is one of the most emotional decisions a family makes.

1

Needs review

Our nurse reviews the elder's full care history and current needs — confirming residential care is the right next step.

2

Family meeting

A frank, compassionate conversation with family about what residential care involves, costs, visiting arrangements, and expectations.

3

Settling in

A supported move-in period — familiar objects, family visits, and a key worker assigned to the elder from day one.

4

Ongoing partnership

Monthly family briefings, open-visit policy, and quarterly care-plan reviews. Families stay involved throughout.

Questions

What families ask most.

Is residential care the right step for our family?
Residential care is usually appropriate when an elder requires continuous supervision that home and day care cannot safely provide — or when family caregivers are at risk of burnout. Our nurse will guide you through this assessment honestly.
Can family visit freely?
Yes. We operate an open-visit policy. We ask families to call ahead so we can ensure the elder is awake and comfortable, but there are no restricted visiting hours.
What happens if an elder's needs change significantly?
We review each resident's care plan quarterly and adjust staffing accordingly. For medical emergencies, we work alongside the nearest sub-county hospital and can facilitate transitions to clinical settings when needed.
Are subsidised places available?
Yes — through donor-funded subsidies, we reserve places for elders whose families cannot meet full fees. Contact us to discuss the subsidy assessment process.
Do you support elders with disabilities in residential care?
Yes — memory-aware routines, nurse-led plans, and subsidised beds. Learn about inclusive ElderCare.
