“Everything we do comes from the heart of who we are. It is not just about providing a service, it’s offering a bit more and enhancing the well-being of the residents in care".

Welcome to Nazareth Care - a state-of-the art co-located retirement village and rest home, located on beautiful grounds on Brougham St, Sydenham. Our home emanates peace and calm, and we aim to enable residents to live a meaningful life with us at Nazareth Care Christchurch.

Our clinical, allied health and pastoral team develop an individual care plan for each resident, which includes clinical, social, emotional, activity and spiritual needs. Mass is available in the Chapel and regular services are conducted for other denominations. Participation in religious services is optional – we welcome everyone and do not impose any religious belief.

Respite is care in a residential aged care home for a short period of time. We warmly welcome and encourage our respite residents to embrace our home during their short stay with us. If you or a loved one need a short break, we welcome you to your stay in our home. Respite care is an option for those recently discharged from hospital to recover fully before returning home or into aged care permanently.
