Nestled in the quiet, leafy suburb of Judea, close to the fantastic shops, cafes and restaurants of Tauranga, Elmswood really does boast the perfect location. And with State Highway 2 close by, and a bus stop right outside, it couldn’t be easier for friends and family to pop by or get you out and about.
Set in large park-like ground with beautifully maintained gardens, Elmswood is a small, family orientated aged care facility offering Memory Loss Support (Dementia) care in a family-feeling environment. Having been recently refurbished, the rooms are bright and airy, and there are a range of room sizes to suit individual needs. Residents have access to inviting common areas, and a large secure garden and courtyard where they can spend time with family friends of the resident cat and dog.
Your room is your own private space, so you can decorate it with your favourite pictures and ornaments. Standard rooms are large enough for a single bed, a chair and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by the DHB. Premium rooms have additional features such as more space, an ensuite bathroom or outdoor access, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features. Our newly refurbished Memory Loss Support Unit is dedicated to supporting our residents with Memory Loss who require a secure environment in which to reside. Elmswood also runs a day stay programme, for those looking for a little bit of extra help.
Our residents can't say enough about the fantastic meals, the consistently high standard of care provided, the great staff, and the always-interesting recreational programmes.
Oceania is a leading provider of premium healthcare services in New Zealand. With over 40 locations across the country, we’ve been part of local communities for over 50 years. We’re recognised as industry leaders in care, winning awards for innovation, food, staff training and community engagement.

Because everyone is different, all of our residents get a personalised care plan, so from meals to medications; everything that’s important to you is covered.
