About Northanjer Rest Home
Kia ora/Hello! Northanjer is a small 15-bed rest home which means that we can tailor the care of our residents to be personal and home-like. We are committed to providing the best care and believe that every resident is an individual and deserves to be treated like one. Our home has been completely renovated with new wallpaper, flooring and lighting throughout and our beautiful new log burner as been installed to make Northanjer even more like a home away from home!
We have been granted 4-year Certification in our most recent Ministry of Health Audit which reflects the excellent level of care provided to our residents.

At Northanjer Resthome, we believe that the elderly are valued members of our society. We offer a relaxed homely atmosphere for 15 residents and this enables us to deliver personal and individualised care with flexibility and freedom.
