About Lonsdale Total Care Centre

Lonsdale Total Care Centre logo

Choosing residential care is one of life's most important decisions. At Lonsdale Total Care Centre, our goal is to make that decision easier by providing exceptional clinical care in a warm, welcoming environment where every resident is treated with dignity, kindness and respect.

Located in the heart of Foxton, Lonsdale has proudly cared for older New Zealanders for many years. As a locally owned and operated care home, we value personal relationships and take the time to know every resident as an individual.

Whether you're looking for Rest Home, Hospital, Respite or Palliative Care, you'll find a caring team dedicated to helping residents live comfortably, safely and with purpose.

We provide:

* Rest Home Care
* Hospital Level Care
* Respite Care
* Palliative Care

Our Registered Nurses and experienced caregivers provide professional care 24 hours a day, supported by visiting health professionals and a multidisciplinary team committed to each resident's wellbeing.

Every care plan is tailored to the individual, recognising personal preferences, routines, cultural values and health needs. Families are welcomed as partners in care and are encouraged to remain actively involved.

Lonsdale Total Care Centre offers a range of accommodation options to suit different needs, preferences and budgets. Our modern Te Atawhai wing, opened in late 2022, features spacious private rooms with private ensuites, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, privacy and independence in a warm, welcoming environment. The wing is certified to provide both Rest Home and Hospital Level Care, allowing many residents to remain in familiar surroundings should their care needs increase over time.

We also offer single and shared subsidised rooms, providing affordable accommodation without compromising on the quality of care. Every resident, regardless of room type, receives the same compassionate, professional care from our dedicated team.

Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with treasured furniture, photographs and keepsakes to create a familiar, homely environment. Comfortable lounges, dining areas and landscaped outdoor spaces provide welcoming places to relax, socialise and spend time with family and friends.

  • Continuity of Care - Rest Home and Hospital Care, allowing residents to age in place.
  • Exceptional Care - Outstanding clinical care with a vibrant diversional therapy programme.
  • Accommodation - Single, shared, subsidised and premium ensuite rooms to suit all needs and budget.
