Our beautifully designed Care suites are available under an Occupational Right Agreement (ORA). Care suites offers a private ensuite, kitchenette with bar fridge and tea making facilities, giving you the freedom to make your cup of tea, just the way you like it.
Your friends and family will always be welcome to spend time with you, and they can join in for meals and celebrations as well as pop in for a cup of tea and chat.
With the comfort and security of 24/7 excellent clinical care and an activity calendar with a great variety from social activities to dining experiences and hobbies, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to connect with like-minded souls who share your passions.
The need for care can be unpredictable, making it hard to always guarantee availability, but we encourage you to get in touch - we are here to listen and here to help. People come first, always. That’s our Care Promise.

The Ministry of Health conducts regular audits of Residential Care Facilities. They can be found HERE.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
