Radius Residential Care

Canterbury was again hit by a number of aftershocks yesterday affecting to a varying degree our facilities St.Ives, St. Helena’s, St.Winifreds and Elloughton gardens in Timaru.

Whilst staff and residents were unhurt, our buildings have sustained minor new damage consisting of superficial cracking. Liquefaction is evident in Christchurch.

All four facilities were diligent in effectively operating emergency procedures during (and immediately after) the aftershocks and have now returned to a mostly normal operation. Essential services such as gas, water and sewerage are being checked today. Access to drinking water and electricity is uninterrupted.

Communication throughout yesterday afternoon with our Support Office was sound. Supplies of food and medical supplies are not affected.
Our thoughts are with Residents, their Families and our Staff during this difficult time.
