Our staff compliment is supplemented by Professional Nurses, Enrolled Nurses and Health Care workers, all of whom are committed to caring for the aged
- Personal Effects: Apart from necessities such as appropriate clothing and toiletries, residents usually bring with them personal effects such as a TV, radio and wall decorations, and are also encouraged to personalize their room as they wish, perhaps with a favourite chair or piece of furniture as space permits, to create a familiar environment
- Meals: MHA is responsible for providing tasty and nourishing meals according to dietary needs. Meals are served in the dining room or in a resident’s room, as circumstances dictate, and are included in the monthly Levy

- Visiting Hours: There are no set visiting hours, and family members and friends are encouraged to visit residents as frequently as they wish
- Monthly Levy: To enable one to occupy a Frail Care bed a monthly Levy is charged, payable each month in advance. Please refer to the Explanations tab on this website, under the Monthly Levy paragraph
- Short-stay admissions: Short-stay accommodation and caring is provided to any resident of our cottages or apartments who may, for example, wish to avail themselves of Frail Care on discharge from hospital or illness.
