About Avondale Lifecare

Avondale Lifecare logo

Make your home at Avondale

When it comes to everyday life, Avondale makes it easy, with rest home, hospital, respite and dementia care. The well-appointed rooms all look out onto sheltered courtyards or landscaped gardens and come complete with a 24-hour call system and WiFi.

Light, bright and welcoming, Avondale is set amongst lovely gardens, just a hop, skip and a jump from the Avondale shopping centre, where you’ll find all the essentials. A short drive from there is the New Lynn shopping mall.

We offer everything from hairdressing to podiatry and SKY TV. We have a range of recreational activities including board games, happy hour, gardening, crafts, indoor bowls and cooking. Our facility van is also always on hand for outings.

But don’t just take our word for it, see what our resident Graeme has to say ...

An executive Manager at Westpac for over 40 years, Graeme has lived all over New Zealand and around the world. When it came to choosing a rest-home, Graeme and his family decided on Avondale Lifecare so he and his wife, Anna, could be together. He’s very pleased they made that decision.

“Anna and I spend time together every day, in our rooms, or in the garden. We’re treated very well and the staff are friendly and caring.” He’s made other friends here too and goes to the dining room most days. “The food is very good, definitely better than average and my room is more than comfortable.” If you ask Graeme he’ll tell you he’s much better off in here “because if anything goes wrong, they’ll soon sort you out.”
