Set in two hectares of trees and gardens in beautiful Blenheim, Bethsaida Retirement Village offers a range of independent living, rest home and hospital options. Close to the heart of Blenheim, the village residents can easily access local shops and cafes, a bowling club, the Marlborough Farmers Market, a riverside walk-cycle track and other amenities. The village and rest home are designed for easy living, with single-storey, warm buildings and options to suit each resident’s changing needs.
Bethsaida is the only retirement village in Blenheim to offer the chance to purchase or rent its one and two bedroom villas. Each spacious home has been purpose-built with elders in mind, including a security screen on the door, a walk-in shower and modern kitchen appliances. The carpeted villas are kept warm and light with double-glazed windows, drapes, blinds, and heat pumps. If needed, garages are available for cars, and villa residents are welcome to cook independently or dine at the rest home if they prefer.
The Village Activities Coordinator aims to provide inclusive and stimulating opportunities to be active and social. So, everyone receives a monthly calendar detailing the many recreational activities on offer at Bethsaida. People are welcome to join in as many or few activities as they wish. These include exercise programmes and church services, bowls, bingo, bridge and other card games, visiting entertainment groups and excursions. Facilities include five communal lounges and a library. Outside, the sunny grounds have many smooth pathways around the gardens and plenty of seating for entertaining family and friends in the fresh air.
Bethsaida is owned by the Bethsaida Charitable Trust and run by a Board of Trustees. That structure allows it to focus on people rather than profits, aiming to maintain dignity, privacy, independence and respect. Those beliefs are core to everything offered at the Bethsaida Retirement Village, Rest Home and Hospital complex.
