Eversley’s location is truly idyllic, surrounded by beautiful, mature trees, looking out over the stunning Cornwall Park stream. Our residents enjoy the advantages of strolls in the park, well established beautiful gardens, bird aviaries and a children’s play area right on our doorstep.

Our Nelson wing is a secure Stage 3 dementia facility with only 17 care beds. Our staff are highly trained in all aspects of dementia and our residents thrive in the small, caring environment. There is a lovely secure garden area for our residents to enjoy and their days are packed with activities and van rides organised by our award winning Diversional Therapy and Activities team.

Our residents' rooms are their own oasis. Full of family photos, love and care, at Eversley they can make their room their own. All rooms can accommodate TV's if the resident wants one. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by Te Whata Ora and Premium rooms have additional features, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features.

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.

When it comes to your care, you know what you do and don’t like – and we want to know your preferences too. Because everyone is different, all of our residents get a personalised care plan, so from meals to medications; everything that’s important to you is covered.
