Description
Ryman Healthcare have been providing retirement living and care options within one village community for over 30 years. Putting residents first has always been our priority, and our terms, care and innovation are a direct reflection of this. Because at Ryman, it's all about people.
Hilda Ross Retirement Village is named after Hamilton's first woman councilor elected to parliament, and who went onto represent New Zealand at the the United Nations. The close proximity of the village to the city centre is an ideal location for residents to enjoy their retirement.
The village provides a full range of retirement living options along with the very best of resthome, hospital and dementia care from our friendly, caring staff.
The village features the latest designs in retirement living including beautiful Independent Townhouses, Serviced Apartments and a Care Centre set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens.
Care centre residents have access to beautiful spacious lounges, dining areas and serene outdoor spaces. Living areas are warm and inviting and provide the perfect setting to meet with family and friends to relax and enjoy.
The resort-style facilities can include a hair and beauty salon, café and shop. Our villages have beautifully landscaped gardens where you can enjoy peaceful strolls or have the space for the grandchildren to play.
For your peace of mind, we have 24-hour security to ensure your safety at all times.
We welcome your call.
