Live a rich and fulfilling life!
We encourage independent living in a warm, supportive environment. Tenants can relax in an independent unit and take part in indoor bowls and enjoy regular outings.
Stand-alone units are set in beautiful grounds, full kitchen, and large living area with access to outdoor area. Units also have central heating, fire alarm and sprinkler system.

Stokeswood 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.
