Nestled down a quiet, leafy street in the heart of Tokoroa, Victoria Place is a warm, friendly Care Centre, offering a choice of standard and premium care rooms.
Your room is your own private space, so you can decorate it with your favourite pictures and ornaments. Standard rooms are large enough for a single bed, a chair and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by the DHB. Premium rooms have additional features such as more space, an ensuite bathroom or outdoor access, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features.
Victoria Place is ideally located just minutes from State Highway 1, making it easy for friends and family to visit or take you out and about.
Everything you need is on your doorstep. Cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and shops are a short drive away, Tokoroa Hospital is just across the road, and there are a number of parks to explore in the local area – including the beautiful Lake Moananui, which is a great spot for a picnic on a sunny summer’s day.
