What is a Rest Home?
A New Zealand rest home, also known as a care home or residential aged care facility, is a place where older adults can receive around-the-clock care and support in a comfortable and secure environment.

All care home facilities are certified by the Ministry of Health, which involves an audit process to identify providers that deliver high levels of care.
