Ultimate Care Aroha is a well established and respected rest home and hospital set in picturesque surroundings. We have a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, a varied activities programme and we provide security and companionship. Residents are provided with their own personal care plan which enables staff to deliver the best possible healthcare services.

As we are just minutes from Palmerston North’s wide variety of shops and amenities, this enables our residents to stay independent and connected to their community.

Our 24-hour, 7 days a week care gives our residents and their families peace of mind and if health needs change we can provide a variety of ongoing care options including dementia care.
