Visitors as usual (but not if you're unwell or recently returned from overseas)
Bishop Selwyn Village has been part of the Spreydon neighbourhood for over 25 years and has built a strong reputation amongst our community.

We encourage residents to bring items from home to personalise their room as we understand the comfort of having familiar things around us. Our nursing staff are fully committed to providing the best possible healthcare service combined with the highest standards of nursing care. And our visiting policy enables family and friends to spend as much time with loved ones as possible, and to remain an integral part of our residents’ lives.

Residents, family and friends are encouraged to enjoy our tranquil garden setting with many restful areas to use. Our bird aviary attracts a lot of attention and is enjoyed by all.
