“CARING IS OUR PASSION”

To know that a continuing care hospital is on-site and close at hand provides peace of mind for residents and their families. At Tararu Village our Rest Home & Hospital facility came first and, for some time has held the reputation as a homely friendly place where the best attention is provided at all times. The experienced, professional team of registered nurses, caregivers and support staff are on hand to provide quality assurance, support and service to all residents in their care. Tararu Rest Home & Hospital has a warm, relaxed, family atmosphere where new friends are made every day and residents become part of one large family. Regular meetings are held with residents for the sharing of ideas to best provide the services that meet their ever changing needs. Tararu Rest Home & Hospital had been renovated and refurbished as part of the Tararu Village residential development. Tararu Rest Home & Hospital foster the community to provide the best environment, encouragement and support necessary to promote independence, dignity and quality of life.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (hereafter referred to as The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who buy into a retirement village. If you intend to purchase you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Further information about Retirement Villages is available in the section 'Frequent Questions'. Some Retirement Villages are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please do your homework.

In some villages there may be some units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
