Proud, Delighted, Satisfied As manager of Rosebank for four years I have seen the village concept evolve from an idea to reality. It was important to us to provide a further retirement care option which is something that has been lacking in Ashburton. I believe every individual is entitled to care, support and respect at any stage of their lives. The number of people aged over 65 is rising. By 2026 there will be twice the number of people in New Zealand over the age of 85 years than there is now. Despite what people may perceive, very few, in fact only 12% of older people go on to live in residential care facility.
Proud, Delighted, Satisfied – These words describe how the facility manager of Rosebank, Sue Prowse, feels after the stage one villas are completed.
A number of people at retirement age may not have the capacity or desire to live in a large family home with a time consuming garden, however they do not require 24 hour personal care. The new villas give another lifestyle option, living independently while being provided with a sense of security and peace of mind knowing other people are living close by. However if they do require personal assistance then this is available to them as part of our continuation of care.
Another key advantage to choosing Rosebank is we have the residential care facility at our Rest home & Hospital while their partner lives just next door at Rosebank Village. If you wish to know more please call me. I look forward to showing you this new option of living.

My name is Stuart Leck, I have been the owner of Rosebank Resthome and Hospital for 20 years. On the 22nd of May I invite you to come to the public opening of “Rosebank Retirement Village� at 69 Walnut Avenue and view the first 6 villas that are now complete and ready for occupation. Rosebank Resthome/Hospital/Retirement Village is the premier facility for aged care in Ashburton. Management and staff go to extra ordinary lengths to ensure that care of our residents is at the highest level. Our first resident is already happily residing in the village with others due to join them shortly. The village will when complete have 27 villas and a community centre. This village now completes the expansion of the Resthome and hospital of which I am extremely proud . The villas have been designed with a large kitchen and generous living spaces which are bigger than normal for a retirement village. They are available with two or three bedrooms and with internal garage access. The retirement village will have organised outings and social occasions where they are able to mix with other residents from the village. This is the first stage which is now complete with five more stages to come. The second stage will start at the end of June for completion early December. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who are involved with this development, I am sure that when you visit the villas you will see the very high standard of workmanship that has been achieved. Rosebank Retirement Village is the first fully developed retirement village in Ashburton. It has been obvious for many years that there has been a real need for the elderly of Ashburton for such a development of which I am proud.
