About CHT Karaka

CHT Karaka logo

Surrounded by green spaces and set amongst a vibrant local community, CHT Karaka Care Home offers a fresh approach to aged care in the Franklin district, featuring person-centred care, purpose-built facilities and beautiful gardens.

CHT Karaka has been intentionally designed to support seamless transition through care levels as needs change, from rest home to hospital, as well as providing secure dementia care. With a range of room options – from standard to premium to care suites, room options include larger rooms that can accommodate those wanting more space, or couples, as well as care suites with a living area and kitchenette, – meet each resident’s needs without the complexity of Occupation Right Agreements (ORAs), making it simple and affordable for your family to choose the perfect solution.
