Bupa is proud to offer rest home, hospital and secure dementia care at Bupa Cashmere View Care Home, in south Christchurch, very close to Princess Margaret Hospital.

Bupa Cashmere View Care Home is known in the local community for our homely atmosphere, and for the care provided by our friendly staff. Focusing on making each day the best it can be for your loved one is what’s most important to us. We want everyone to feel at home at Bupa Cashmere View – friends and relatives can come and go whenever suits you, and they're welcome to stay and enjoy a meal with you (for a small fee).

We take the time to get to know each resident, so that our care can be personalised, respecting each person’s likes, dislikes and preferences.

We also have a retirement village co-located next door, which can make visiting a spouse easier.

We would be delighted to have the opportunity to talk with you about our care. Please call Genevive Alcuizar our Care Home Manager, or feel free to drop in at any time.

Alternatively, our community liaison coordinator, Sarah (027 273 2113), can help provide you and your family more information about moving into a care home here in Christchurch, feel free to call her or email: sarah.radburnd@bupa.co.nz
