We provide a robust activities programme including Tai Chi and mindfulness, poetry and Shakespeare conversation, daily exercise, games, quizzes and regular outings in the Village van to places of interest in the community.

Our kitchen provides healthy and appealing meals cooked on site. Enjoy a glass of wine with your dinner if you so choose, and join in with Happy Hour every Thursday!

We are situated very conveniently with the Meadowbank Centre across the road and the popular Meadow Cafe nearby. Kohimarama and St Heliers are a short drive away for visits with friends and family.

We make the effort to understand each resident’s likes and dislikes, and we build our care around these, letting your preferences shape your day. We encourage our residents to decorate their rooms with furniture and treasured memories from their homes. At Remuera Care Home we live our Bupa Purpose every day: Longer, Healthier, Happier Lives.
