Masonic Court logo

Masonic Court is an established and well respected aged care facility that has been in Palmerston North since 1972. The facility has grown over the years with support from our community and we are now able to provide 24- hour care for up to 49 rest home and hospital level residents both permanently and short term (respite and intermediate care) and Palliative care.

In 2014 we merged with the Masonic Villages Trust and have become a large provider of exceptional aged care in the lower half of the north island. Each facility is unique and at Masonic Court we offer holistic care that’s all about you, a selection of homely rooms some with private en-suites, 24- hour Registered Nurses on site 7 days a week, passionate staff and engaging lifestyle programs with diverse recreation programs e.g. art, music and animal therapies, resident outings, as well as specialist services e.g. physiotherapy, podiatry with pastoral and chaplaincy services regularly available

With a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, and a place where family and friends are encouraged to visit as often as they choose, spending time with loved ones and making new friends is the spirit of our home. You will feel at home with our friendly, qualified staff and our person-centred model of care while enjoying the rich quality of life that encourages companionship, independence and safety.
