A New Era of Enhanced Care

Team Archer from Archer Beckenham Village & Care Home

At Archer Villages & Care Homes, the Board have announced a significant and positive evolution in our commitment to providing exceptional care and vibrant communities for our residents.

We are embarking on an exciting journey to consolidate our care home offerings into a single and central clinical hub at Archer Beckenham.

This strategic move is designed to continue to provide a continuum of care, foster greater community inclusiveness, and ensure a sustainable future for the entire Archer group.


This consolidation means that all Rest Home, Hospital, and Dementia care services will now be housed under one roof at our Archer Beckenham care facility.

This creates a truly integrated clinical hub, allowing for seamless transitions between care levels and even more coordinated, comprehensive support for our residents.

We are particularly excited to share that this expansion will lead to a significant increase in the number of dementia beds available at our new clinical hub, enhancing our capacity to serve those with memory care needs.

Residents from any Archer Village will continue to receive priority entry to our care facility, ensuring peace of mind and continuity of care as their health needs change.

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
