Christian Healthcare Trust (CHT) is one of Auckland’s leading providers of residential care for older people. We have a proud history of innovative facility design and service delivery. With nearly 50 years experience we have the knowledge and capability to run rest homes and hospitals you can trust.

As a completely independent Charitable Trust we can focus on meeting the needs of our residents. As we have no other demands on our funds, we reinvest all of our surpluses back into our facilities and our services.

This focus on services is based on our strong belief that every person is entitled to be treated with respect at all times and given encouragement to retain the highest possible level of personal dignity, integrity and independence.

We take pride in the home and community we have created for our residents at Waiuku Estuary Village and Rest Home.

Situated on the tranquil Waiuku Estuary, Waiuku Rest Home looks over the pleasant rural landscape and Waiuku town centre.

Waiuku Rest Home is designed around a central garden providing a sheltered environment for outdoor living.
