Welcome to Kumeu Village
Nestled in the heart of Kumeu wine country, overlooking Kumeu River Winery and surrounded by picturesque grounds, Kumeu Village is a rest home with a difference. We don’t just care for our residents – we’re on a mission to provide a true home, rich with experiences and companionship. Kumeu Village is a vibrant community where our residents can live active and varied lives with autonomy and dignity.
For nine years, we have embraced The Eden Alternative® Philosophy, successfully implementing its values and principles of care. Now proudly independent, we continue to utilise the combined wealth of knowledge gained over the years to uphold Kumeu Village’s ‘Resident First’ principles, enhancing our resident-focused environment.
As a ‘Resident First’ facility, we are dedicated to setting a new benchmark in elderly care by prioritising the well-being and satisfaction of our residents above all else.
About Us
With a Resident First Person-Centered approach to resident care mirrors how we would treat a cherished friend or family member. We understand the significance of addressing not only physical ailments but also nurturing the emotional well-being of our residents. In our resident community, we foster an environment where new ideas, acts of kindness, and thoughtful gestures are encouraged and embraced. Our goal is to create a home where loneliness, helplessness, and boredom are actively eliminated from our residents’ daily experiences.
Together, we journey through life, enhancing its value for both residents and the dedicated staff providing care. At the heart of ‘Residents First’ is a focus on the residents themselves: their interests, needs, and preferences are paramount in all that we do.
- At Kumeu Village, we recognise that loneliness, helplessness, and boredom are significant sources of distress for our residents.
- In our community, we prioritise creating a nurturing environment where residents can engage with plants, animals, and children.
- These relationships enrich lives and foster a sense of purpose.
- We believe that loving companionship is essential for combating loneliness. Residents should have regular access to human and animal companions.
- Our community empowers residents to both give and receive care, fostering a sense of purpose and independence.
- Variety and spontaneity are key elements of daily life in our community.
- We cultivate an environment where unexpected interactions and events can occur, combating boredom.
- Meaningful activities are vital for maintaining the human spirit. We aim to promote opportunities for residents to engage in activities that hold personal significance.
- We believe in empowering residents and their loved ones by granting them maximum decision-making authority wherever possible.
- Building our ‘Residents First’ community is an ongoing journey.
We encourage and welcome our residents’ family members to join us in this journey to enrich the lives of their loved ones.

Love the decor, has the retro type outlook of an old house inside. Always smells pleasant and the staff are caring
VERY CLEAN AND BRIGHT. We visited our dear friend and were impressed by how nice the facility was laid out and how lovely and modern it was. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would be very happy to have any family member stay there to be cared for including myself in future years.
Top notch I'd live here. Nice to see aged people well cared for. Was like an upmarket lodge. Inspirational care allowing dogs fantastic!!! There are so many places that could learn from this wonderful place. Well done Kumeu Village Rest Home!!!!
Awesome...... my mum was treated like a queen. The complex an staff were amazing. That is how our elderly SHOULD be looked after. Many rest homes should take a leaf out of their book!!
