Care home
A world-class care home. A home where you can receive full nursing care with respect and compassion. For when you need more than just a helping hand.
A home with world-class care...
“Nurse Maude have been with us since the beginning and we have had amazing care over that time.“


Quality Nursing Care
For the people who live in the Nurse Maude Care Home, it’s a place where they can have a sense of purpose and receive quality nursing care provided in a safe and compassionate environment.
Long term care is funded by the Ministry of Health. Talk to your GP, public hospital, or other health professional about being referred to our care. Private care is also an option.
We welcome visits from those who are considering full supportive care. Please phone the Nurse Maude Care Home Manager or email to arrange a visit.

We believe...
- Everyone has unique physical, spiritual, emotional, social, and psychological needs.
- Everyone is part of a family unit.
- Our Care Home is more than just a place to live.
- Everyone has the right to quality health care provided with compassion.
- Elderly residents and those needing residential palliative care have special holistic needs.
- A variety of levels of care provided in a residential environment requires special personal qualities, skills, and knowledge.
- The resident and their family / whãnau / caregiver are integral to planning the care provided and should be regularly consulted about that care.
When your health needs are high, the quality of care really matters
Nurse Maude has cared for the people of Canterbury since 1896. While much of our nursing and care is in the community, complex health needs demand excellent care. The Nurse Maude Care Home is founded on the partnership, respect, compassion and nursing excellence. Our job is to make a real home for our residents … a place where they can enjoy the same sense of purpose, fun, meaning, control and dignity as they would in their own homes. We also offer respite care with a seamless transition to long-term care if needed.


Nurse Maude Care Home
The Nurse Maude Care Home is a 75-bed facility specialising in long-term hospital level, residential and palliative care.

Residents can be attended by their own GP or have one of the Care Home's doctors look after them. Nursing, physiotherapy, activities, volunteer support, hairdressing, podiatry and pastoral care are all available. Vacancies are posted on the Eldernet website daily.
