We're passionate about creating communities where residents thrive - where there’s joy & lifelong friendship. And that’s why we’re proud to be voted the most trusted retirement village operator again this year – for the ninth time!
Respite care at Kiri Te Kanawa provides temporary care in a range of circumstances. You may need some rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or perhaps a little extra support – whether it’s for a single night or a few weeks.
If you still live in your own home, a short stay at our care centre could be a welcome break from your usual routine. You could even stay with us in our day care programme where you can enjoy meals and activities during the day. Plus, did you know that you can receive respite care in the comfort of a serviced apartment.
As a Ryman village, we've won the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand: Aged Care and Retirement Villages award eight times. And we’ve been awarded the gold medal seven times in the Reader’s Digest Quality Service award.
Kiri Te Kanawa is one of over 90% of established Ryman villages that have been awarded 4-year certification by the Ministry of Health. It’s recognised as the ‘gold standard’ in care.
A huge point of difference for Ryman care residents is the feeling of connection they experience. Activities and events are all there for you to take part in when you feel like it.
If you've been thinking about moving to Kiri Te Kanawa, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our village before making your decision.
