Residents always come first with Cashmere View hospital and rest home - Bupa Care Homes

Our happy, dedicated staff are always willing to do that little extra for our residents, and their care and friendly approach help ensure Cashmere View is a loving home.

Cashmere View (incorporating Ashgrove House), with views of the Cashmere Hills, offers a continuum of care from Independent Village Units to respite, rest home and hospital care.

Cashmere View is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms. We are a private company, and because we have no shareholders, we can invest what we earn to make improvements that help us provide better care.

As part of the global Bupa group, we are able to provide superior clinical support, while focusing on helping each of our residents get the most out of each day. Bupa is one of New Zealand’s leading aged care providers.
