Residents always come first at Riverview Rest Home.
Our multi-cultural, caring staff are always willing to do that little extra for our residents and their Wholehearted Care and friendly approach help ensure Riverview is a loving home for residents. Riverview offers modern, purpose-built living in a magical setting beside the Taruheru River. We're only two minutes' drive from the centre of town and there's a dairy within easy walking distance. At Riverview you'll find companionship, comfort and security. It's a happy place with a strong family spirit and a reputation for skilled, compassionate care. Riverview 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.
