WINDSORCARE is an established NOT FOR PROFIT retirement facility and village, providing accommodation and care for those aged 70+. We have 70 Independent Living Units, 49 of these are 2 bedroom cottages and we also have 21 newly built architecturally designed 2 bedroom townhouses. We are situated directly across the road from the Palms Shopping Centre in the suburb of Shirley, Christchurch.

WINDSORCARE provides care for life, meaning, should the need arise to move into rest home, hospital or rest home dementia care, you have the peace of mind knowing that the very best level of care is provided by 24/7 nursing. We also have a dedicated nurse for the independent living cottages and townhouses.

WINDSORCARE has been caring for our community since 1959, we provide experience and expertise, the fact many of our staff have been with us for 30+ years is a real testament and compliment to our values and enduring quality.

Newcomers to WindsorCare

As the first to move into one of the new Townhouses on site, we have settled in very well.
Doing the “life laundry “of a 4 bedroom home to 2 bedrooms was a challenge but being able to rent an extra single garage on site was a huge bonus.
The Townhouses have been planned very well and of course its North facing aspect is amazing. The kitchen, dining and living is a comfortable space. The kitchen has great storage, fabulous back splash and quartz bench top. All appliances throughout are fantastic. The dishwasher is super quiet which is really appreciated in a smaller area.
All staff are very welcoming and approachable – you are quickly one of the Windsor Community finding your own level of involvement. As I am still working part time I look forward to a time when I can join in more with all the activities offered.

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.
