In Ryman villages, you’ll find vibrant communities where residents thrive.
Along with independent and assisted living, Ernest Rutherford Village offers a range of care options to support you. These include rest home, hospital, dementia and respite care. In some circumstances you can also choose to receive rest home care in your own serviced apartment.
Located close to the Stoke shops, Ernest Rutherford Village is set in beautifully landscaped gardens with views of Tasman Bay and Mt Arthur.
Care is at the heart of everything we do. Our residents receive the best of clinical care from our expert teams.
Our spacious care rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom are fitted with a call bell with 24/7 monitoring for added security.
Of all the large providers in New Zealand (with 15 villages or more), Ryman has the highest number of care centres with 4 years’ certification – the ‘gold standard’ in care – from the Ministry of Health.

Our award-winning myRyman Care app and electronic medication system provide our team with secure access to real-time clinical data for accurate and efficient care.
Meals are prepared fresh on site by our village chefs using seasonal ingredients. Our Delicious menu is continually highlighted as an area where we go above and beyond as our talented chefs aim to tempt all taste buds.

We're passionate about creating thriving communities where connection and wellbeing are a priority. We offer daily activities and outings for residents to choose, and we encourage you to make the most of the care centre amenities.
We’re proud to be named New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand in retirement living for the 11th time by Reader’s Digest. That’s trust built over time, through shared experiences, thoughtful gestures and communities who care. This recognition is complemented by our Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers, highlighting the exceptional lifestyle and amenities our villages offer.
When people visit our care centres, they often tell us that they feel that difference. It’s in the way our residents and care teams interact, their genuine affinity and connection with one another. We’re a community that cares.
It’s something to be experienced so we invite you to visit and talk to our team. Better still, talk to our residents and their families – they’re the experts! Read less
