Stokeswood Care Home is an important part of the Stokes Valley community.

It's a happy place with a strong family spirit and a reputation for skilled, compassionate care. We enjoy strong community support and involvement and have friendly staff and wonderful residents. The grounds are lovely - quiet and park-like, yet close to shops and services and right beside the RSA, which many of our residents enjoy visiting.

Stokeswood is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms. We are a private company, and because we have no shareholders, we can invest what we earn to make improvements that help us provide better care.

As part of the global Bupa group, we are able to provide superior clinical support, while focusing on helping each of our residents get the most out of each day. Bupa is one of New Zealand’s leading aged care providers.
