Description
Our Care offering
Just like Mt Albert, Everil Orr is a welcoming and family-friendly community. From the smiley staff who greet you in the hallways, to the comfortable living spaces, you’ll feel right at home. Our main lounge is a lively hub of activity. Follow the music and laughter to find a friend to chat to, or to join in the day’s events. Or if it’s peace and quiet you crave, relax in a comfy chair with a book (or cat) in one of our many cosy nooks.
We don’t have visiting hours at Everil Orr because we know it’s important you stay connected to your community. It’s home, so friends and family can join you anytime for a cuppa and catch up. We’re just around the corner from the Motorway, so it’s a breeze for visitors to pop in, or get you out and about to local shops and cafes.
Activities
Hop in the village van for a jaunt, you’ll never know where it will take you next. Hot chips on the ferry to Devonport, or off to browse the shops at Lynnmall, there’s an exciting destination each week. Or if it’s music you’re in to, enjoy your own personalised playlist with I Love Music. Furry friends, family BBQs, competitive games and theme days, there’s something for everyone no matter what you’re interested in.
Food
Tender Sunday roasts, hot fish and chips and scrummy homemade puddings… there’s a reason why we’ve won awards for our food! All of the above are regular features on our menu, which is packed with tasty family favourites you’d make at home. You’ll be sure to be up for second helpings!
Award Winning Care
Great care is what we do and we’ve got the paper to prove it. Oceania’s won multiple supreme awards from the New Zealand Aged Care Association, so you can be sure you’re in good hands. When it comes to your care, you know what you like and don’t like - and we want to know too. Because everyone is different all of our residents get a personalised care plan, so from meals to medications, everything that’s important to you is covered. We’ve also got a choice rooms , so no matter your needs or budget, there are plenty of options.
What’s near by
You couldn’t ask for a more convenient location. Right around the corner from Mt Albert Village, you’re spoilt for choice with a range of cafes and eateries. Lynnmall and St Lukes mall are less than 10 minutes away, as are the local pools and library. Enjoy high tea at historic Alberton house, or a paddle at Pt. Chev beach.

Thank you for all your kindness and care for Dad in his final years. Without you all his life would not have endured for as long - T.B. Words cannot express the loving care and kindness you all gave to my Mum. You are all angels - L.L. You gave my Mother such wonderful care and I loved the nice way staff spoke not only to the residents and families but to each other. My Mother enjoyed being here at Everil Orr- B.H. The staff cared for my Mother so kindly and they gave her love, laughed with her, talked to her, shared their lives with her and made her lastmonths, weeks, days very secure and happy - B.A.D.B You made my sister so welcome. What a lovely place, so clean and staff lovely - B.C. I would just like to say I have had nothing but positive experiences with your facility. Your staff are both polite and helpful and reassuring. They take the time to talk to me, provide me with helpful information so that I can feel reassured that my Mother is getting only the best of care. I know she is being treated with respect and dignity and for that I am truly grateful - C. I am always amazed by your kindness, patience and friendliness while you looked after my Father.
