Residents always come first at Remuera Care Home. Our multi-cultural, caring staff are always willing to go the extra mile for our residents, and their wholehearted care and friendly approach help ensure Remuera Care Home is a loving home for residents.
We are located close to the shops and services at Meadowbank Mall and Remuera Village. With our cosy rest home and the independent units within this village, you'll feel part of a friendly family community where there's always plenty to do. Remuera 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. For more information, please visit the Bupa link below. Our facility also offers these services: |
