Tucked away in the coastal community of Waipu, Northland, is Ultimate Care Ranburn. Only 40 minutes from Whangarei, we offer a rural lifestyle whilst still being situated right in the heart of Waipu's town centre.
We believe the most important factor for our residents is to assist them to live a full quality life, in a warm, friendly and family-oriented environment, one that respects and celebrates their individuality and life.
Visitors often comment on the sense of community at Ranburn and how beautiful the setting is. We are also lucky to have a number of wonderful beaches, markets and community events which we visit often on our many outings.
Our dedicated team of nurses and caregivers offer an unparalleled quality of personalised care backed by industry-leading qualifications and training.
