In an unbeatable waterfront location across the road from Browns Bay Beach, The Sands offers a premium option for aged care, with Care Suites designed to give you more flexibility – plus that little bit of luxury you deserve.

Care Suites provide both Rest Home and Hospital level care, which means you can relax knowing you won’t have the upheaval of moving again if your needs increase.

All Care Suites feature:

- Full ensuite bathroom
- Kitchenette
- Living area for entertaining guests (One bedroom suites only)
- Private balcony (Select suites only)
- Heat pump

Choose from either a studio care suite, or a one-bedroom care suite with a separate bedroom and living area. Some care suites are large enough to accommodate couples, so you can be together – even if one of you requires hospital level care.

It’s easy to fill your day at The Sands. Our team will get to know you to find out how you like to spend your time, so that they can help you enjoy the things you love to do. Our activities calendar is packed with a variety of group and solo pursuits, so you can choose what you feel like doing. Hop in our van to explore an exciting new destination each week or enjoy some me-time listening to your own personalised playlist with our award-winning I Love Music programme.

Tender Sunday roasts, hot fish and chips and scrummy homemade puddings…all are regular features on our menu, which is packed with tasty classics you’d make at home. Don’t fancy what’s on offer? Have a chat to our friendly chef and kitchen team, so we can understand your needs.

And you can rest assured knowing you’ll be in the best hands. Oceania is a leading provider of premium healthcare services in New Zealand. With over 40 locations across the country, we’ve been part of local communities for over 50 years. We’re recognised as industry leaders in care, winning awards for innovation, food, staff training and community engagement.

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.
