Special Features
Special Features
The Rest Home is well positioned on a gentle rise on the outskirts of the rural township of Putaruru. The modern purpose built brick home and Retirement Village units are run by a charitable trust; the original land being donated by Wally Grey. This generosity was supplemented by the efforts, money and services of families and businesses from Putaruru and the surrounding districts. Thanks to this support we can provide you with the highest standards of care and facilities.

The Home is laid out in a series of wings which relate to the central core of the home where there is reception, offices, lounges, dining room, and kitchen. The home is spacious and has a relaxed yet very professional feel about it.

There are several options of rooms ranging from larger studio rooms through to ensuited rooms and non ensuited rooms. The studio units have a bedroom/lounge area with tea/coffee making facilities, small fridge and full walk in bathroom. These rooms are available and some are ideal for couples. Some of the ensuited rest home rooms are also very spacious.

One of the homes greatest attributes is the staff. The team relate well to one another and are caring compassionate people, many of whom have worked in the home for a number of years. Staff feel well recognised for their work and say that the Trust Board are thoughtful, considerate and great to work for. Happy staff help to create a happy home.


Our comprehensive introductory information package for new residents can be sent to you if you request this. It contains clear information about the assessment and service co-ordination process that is undertaken prior to entry to rest home care, a copy of our “Agreement to Provide Residential Care Services at Rangiura Rest Home”, a useful overview of “Enduring Power of Attorney”, “Resident Rights & Responsibilities”, a “copy of our “Concerns & Complaints” form (we believe that caring for someone is a two way process and if is to work well all parties need to be open with each other. We therefore try to make this process as easy fro you as possible) and a handy checklist of some of the things we suggest that you consider when you are looking for a rest home or hospital. Please feel free to request this package.

Please discuss any medical problems with them and they will be pleased to tend to your health needs.
