Given the current COVID-19 environment we have temporarily disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Grace Joel Retirement Village is perched on the hill in the sought-after Auckland suburb of St Heliers. The village is within easy reach of some of the best that Auckland has to offer, including great shopping, golf and beach walks. It’s also right next to a fully equipped medical centre, containing a wide range of doctors and specialists.
At Grace Joel, we provide a full range of lifestyle options for you to choose from. Our modern townhouses and independent apartments provide easy-care living, giving you both privacy and the chance to be part of a friendly community. Our one-bed and studio-style serviced apartments come with a range of options for those who require a little extra assistance with everyday living, from meals and housekeeping to help with medication. The village also includes a state-of-the-art care centre that provides 97 care beds offering the best in resthome and hospital care.
Living with like-minded friends in a resort-style setting means there is always something to do – and friends to enjoy it with. Our facilities include an indoor swimming pool and spa, gymnasium, library, indoor and outdoor bowls, workshop and craft room. There’s a village van for social outings, while a full and varied activities programme has something on every day of the week, from tai chi to guest speakers.
When Ryman Healthcare was founded over 35 years ago, our co-founder Kevin Hickman thought about what he’d want for his own mother. He set one simple standard for the care we provide: It’s got to be good enough for Mum.
Today, we not only uphold that same standard, we continue to raise the bar in retirement living and aged care.
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.
Ryman offer some of the most resident-friendly and transparent terms in Australasia, with agreements written in plain language so they are easy for everyone to understand.
Our base weekly fee is fixed for the entire time you occupy your townhouse or apartment, guaranteed.* And our deferred management fee is capped at 20 percent – one of the lowest in the retirement sector.
Leading innovation is something that Ryman are becoming renowned for. Our seasonal Delicious menu is made fresh on site by in-house village chefs. If you ever feel like letting someone else doing the cooking, you can choose from three main courses, including a vegetarian option. We also cater for special dietary requirements.
Just like our Delicious meals, our individually frozen meals are made fresh, using only natural ingredients. The ready-to-eat meals are very reasonably priced and are available to purchase from the village café or reception.
We’ve developed our own ACC accredited Triple A exercise programme. Catering for all ability levels, this free programme improves strength, balance and mobility. Our Engage activities programme provides events and activities for residents, such as the weekly Happy Hour, arts and crafts, and outings in the village van.
Having daily activities and events to look forward to, combined with a friendly village environment, is what life is all about. It’s those moments of shared joy and laughter. Because At Ryman villages, we create the kind of community that our residents grew up in – connected and caring.
We look forward to introducing you to our wonderful community.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
