“The Ranfurly Hospital facilities are absolutely 5-Star in all aspects. The rooms have their own ensuite and television, and you have the choice to eat in your room, or the dining room. There is incredible variety of meals each month, you get a weekly menu with 2-3 choices of meal for both lunch and dinner complete with soup and desert as well as fresh fruit. There are also a variety of different options for entertainment to enjoy each day. The tender and loving care by the management, physio, nurses and general staff is fantastic, nothing is too much trouble for them. They are always professional and call all residents by their name. Even very difficult patients they handle with true professionalism in every way. After my 6 week stay for rehab, having been involved with many retirement homes and hospitals, I believe that you won’t be able to find a better option than Ranfurly Hospital.” - Geoff Asher, Vietnam Veteran
Our staff give excellent care in an environment that is built around a resident centred hospitality model. Nothing is too much trouble for our staff. Residents live in beautiful surroundings that support individuality, personal choice and independence.
We serve restaurant quality food that is prepared daily. The residents are provided with a range of delicious menu options and choose their own meals on tablets that are loaded with our tantalising pictorial menus.
Residents enjoy frequents outings in our village van. You may have seen Ranfurly residents enjoying coffee in a café, or at the theatre, or the Ellerslie races, or even in the park feeding the ducks.
We would love to be of service to you. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about the care services we offer or about Ranfurly Village.

Testimonials
| "I love that I can hold my head up and boast about where my father lives, when so many of my generation really struggle with where their parents are." Cecilia "Ranfurly Village provides a caring environment for my Mother. The staff are wonderful and the beautiful facilities are designed with the older person in mind. I can’t think of a better home." Felicity “I work in palliative care and I recently accompanied my dear friends granddaughter to visit him at Ranfurly Hospital. We were greeted warmly and given the appropriate details of his care plan in a very professional manner. It was obvious to us that John was being exceptionally well cared for and kept very comfortable.” Louise “I visit Ranfurly Hospital regularly to spend time with my husband. I have never once worried about his care, the staff are exceptional and go to great measures to make sure that he is well looked after.” Kate “It is great to know that there is the option of clinical care on site at Ranfurly. My husband recently had to move to the hospital and was in palliative care, the staff were wonderful and it was so easy to visit him. I also needed to spend some time in respite care at the Hospital and experienced the exceptional care first hand. It gives me peace of mind to know that when I do need help I don't have to move away from Ranfurly Village and that I can relocate to the hospital and enjoy the beautiful surroundings there.” Mary I recommend the facilities and staff at Ranfurly Hospital at every opportunity. He loved the food and I know he appreciated the care and attention from the nurses and the care assistants. Lorraine |
