That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

Kaikōura is a thriving community with a vision for the future, says Will Doughty.
In his pre-election report, the Kaikōura District Council chief executive says the district is in a strong position, despite the uncertainties of Covid-19.
The council completed its $40 million rebuild from the 2016 North Canterbury earthquake in mid-2020 on time and under budget, and was now looking to the future.
Last year’s 2021/31 long-term plan (LTP) was the council’s ‘‘most comprehensive and well informed to date’’ with a vision of ‘‘Moving Kaikōura Forward’’, Doughty said.
‘‘We know there are a number of uncertainties ahead of us in terms of various government reforms and initiatives that are under way.
‘‘This makes planning for the next 10 years a challenge, but we based our LTP on what we know now, rather than anticipating or guessing how things may develop.
‘‘One thing the last few years has taught us is how to work together to manage and adapt to change.’’
Major developments on the horizon include the opening of the 120 bed, five star Sudima Hotel in October.
A hotpools, spa and wellness centre, new facilities for the town’s emergency services, new housing subdivisions and a business park were also proposed.
Tourism remained the lifeblood of the district and the recent reopening of the border to international tourists was welcomed news for operators.
The prospect of cruise ships returning this summer and a link pathway project from the town centre to Kaikoura Peninsula created some excitement.
A proposed zip line experience and moves to apply for international dark skies reserve status also loom on the horizon.
The Kaikōura Marine Development Project has also developed visions for the future of Wakatu Quay and the South Bay Harbour.
Doughty said South Bay Harbour had the potential to become an international hub for marine research and education.
But both projects would costs tens of millions of dollars and would require major investment.
Aside from Covid-19 uncertainty, central Government reform looms, including Three Waters and Resource Management Act reform and the future of local government.
Climate change and sustainability were the biggest challenges facing the district, something the community was all too aware of with its reliance on the natural environment.
The Kaikōura district has a population 4260, with 2995 rateable properties and median age of 46.3 years.
