All meals are cooked on site, home baking for morning and afternoon teas. Nutritious main meals are served in the dining room. Emphasis is always on a tasty menu of good old-fashioned family favourites. Individual food preferences are catered for as much as possible. Special occasions catered for well e.g. 100 yr birthday parties. Our suppliers have told us they would come and eat here as we buy the best variety of food available! We are able to provide a meal for family provided we have notice, there may be a small charge for this.

Victoria Care complex offers all the benefits of a care facility, including entertainment, activities and companionship. Situated among peaceful gardens in the heart of bustling Christchurch, our grounds spacious and the design of the home incorporates a number of sheltered courtyard areas, many with raised gardens surrounded by seating, onto which the rooms face. Other garden seating is provided under the large walnut tree at the end of the property.

With individual and personalized care in comfortable, homely surroundings living at Victoria Care takes the worry away and allows you to relax and enjoy the good things in life - friendship and fun. The site is fitted with accessibility ramps and safety grab rails, wide corridors, and smoke detectors with water sprinklers.

There’s plenty to do for those who are in the mood for recreation – arts and crafts, exercise groups, music and guest speakers, just to mention a few. There are small lounges around the home and a kitchenette area for the home like feel. Residents are very much encouraged to maintain friendships and activities outside the home.

The birthdays and anniversaries of residents are very special and we would like to recognise them provided residents agree. Christmas, New Year, and Easter are especially happy and meaningful times of the year too, and we enjoy celebrating them. We will also celebrate other traditional events and local community occasions.

There are frequent outings, as Victoria Care is just a few blocks away from North Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens and the central city shops. With regular walks to places such as the library, coffee shop and the pub for a game of pool and chips to ensure that the central city is enjoyed. Van outings go further afield to places such as the Groynes, New Brighton and visiting Llamas on a farm. Residents suggestions are always welcome.
