About Victoria Place Lifecare

Victoria Place Lifecare logo

Nestled down a quiet, leafy street in the heart of Tokoroa, Victoria Place Lifecare is a warm, friendly Care Centre, offering a choice of standard and premium care rooms. Located a short distance from State Highway 1, making access to and from the Care Home for friends and family to visit, or for you to visit them! Conveniently located a short drive from Tokoroa township, means cafés and shopping are just moments away.

Tokoroa hospital is less than a kilometre away and the Care Home and surrounding streets provide plenty of parking. Lake Moananui Reserve is also close by for those long, lazy summer days with family or friends.

Your room is your own private space, so you can decorate it with your favourite pictures and ornaments. Standard rooms are large enough for a single bed, a chair and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by the DHB. Premium rooms have additional features such as more space, an ensuite bathroom or outdoor access, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features.
