Bupa retirement village residents Randall and Jeanette say it's the simple pleasures that makes Glenburn so special.

"It's the little things. They really spoil us here," says Randall.

And after 60 years in the same home, having someone else care of all the maintenance at their village apartment has been a dream!

🎉 Happy 10th birthday, St Andrew’s! 🎉

What a wonderful day celebrating 10 years of our St Andrew’s Care Home and Retirement Village!

The celebrations began at the Care Home, with General Manager Heremina Egan welcoming everyone, followed by a beautiful karakia from our caregiver Pa. We were also lucky to have Mayor Tim Macindoe join us. Tim was there 10 years ago when Andrew King opened the site, making it a special full-circle moment.

And of course, it wouldn’t be St Andrew’s without the sound of bagpipes! 🎶 The Hamilton Highland Pipe Band helped kick off the celebrations before we headed over to the Village for more festivities, delicious food and a chance to hear from some of our very first residents, who moved in back in November 2016.

A huge thank you to the St Andrew’s team for making the day so special, and to everyone who came along to celebrate this milestone with us.

We’re so proud of our wonderful community, our residents and our team. ❤️

Here’s to the next 10 years! 🥂

Liston Heights resident Peter reckons life in a serviced apartment is like living in a hotel! And with everyday chores taken care of, his zest for life is unstoppable.

“The idea of being able to just lock up and leave knowing my home was secure really suited me,” he says.

A typical week for the Bupa resident includes a round of golf, trip up the river for a fly fish, coffee with friends and catch ups with family, a run most mornings and supporting the social committee at the village.

What an incredible day on court!

Smiles, sweat and serious talent were on full display in Rototuna at Sports on Courts Day – a joint initiative between The Peak and Parafed Waikato. From first timers to fierce competition, the day celebrated the power of inclusive sport, giving everyone the opportunity to get active, try something new and find their place in sport.

High energy, community vibes, and non-stop action made possible by the PNZ Bupa Inclusive Para Sport Grant.

Big news for Whitby!

We’re excited to announce our latest development - Bupa Te Awarua Views – a new retirement village and care home on a stunning 10.7-hectare site high above Te Awarua-o-Porirua.

With harbour views, around 30,000m² protected native bush and a real sense of space, it’s an incredible location – and a huge engineering project. Around 200,000m³ of earth will be moved, including the largest reinforced soil slope built in New Zealand to date.

The village will include around 150 retirement living homes, a premium care home, gardens and spaces to walk, swim, relax and connect.

The first villas are expected to be ready in the second half of 2027.

We can’t wait to bring this special new community to life! Read the full announcement in the comments 👇

Amazing to see our residents on the front page of the paper this week!

Bupa Tararu Retirement Village has been celebrating a very special milestone, with six residents turning 90 this year – alongside honorary guest Ian, who is an incredible 99!

That’s a combined 639 years of life, memories and stories – and there are some great ones.

From sailing around the world and racing motorbikes to nursing, opera singing and even winning a boomerang throwing competition, our residents have certainly lived full and interesting lives.

It was a great celebration with plenty of laughter, music, cake as we all got together to celebrate.

A big, happy birthday to all our nonagenarians

Runway for a Reason at Willowbank!

What an afternoon! More than 200 people came together at Bupa Willowbank for an afternoon of fashion, fun and fundraising – raising an incredible $16,000+ for Parkinson’s Hawke’s Bay.

A real highlight was seeing resident Laurel’s stunning fashion collection on the runway. Laurel generously shared her much-loved pieces, bringing plenty of colour, style and personality to the day.

There was lots of laughter, great company and a whole lot of generosity.

What a wonderful way to come together for a great local cause. ❤️
