   Our mother Beverley Stead lived her last 4 years in the rest home and hospital at the Charles Upham retirement village. Mum had dementia and all staff members cared for Mum with kindness, care, respect and compassion. There were many activities for residents to enjoy and Mum particularly loved singing with the live musicians. As Mum’s life neared the end the excellent level of care became exceptional. It was evident that these wonderful staff members were not simply doing a job but genuinely cared. We are extremely grateful to you all.

   I visited a friend in the rest home and although the grounds and staff were lovely, the food was a disgrace. They brought their dinner to them while I was there, it was terrible. The soup looked so unappealing and inedible (brown, cold and thick) and was out clearly of a can so very salty. The bread roll was stale, the meat was so dry they couldn’t eat it and the pudding was canned fruit in a bowl. I was told this is just how it is and no one does it differently. I really hope they improve this as they advertise they offer delicious, chef cooked meals to residents, and I worry for the elderly here as food is essential and should be done well in a care home of this standard/price.

   Very well laid out Retirement Home set in park like surroundings with many options of accommodation available. Not ready for here yet but visiting elderly friends who have just moved in. Very tidy and clean resident areas and there appears to be lots to do ... Recommend a visit for those looking for this type of system that has a tiered type of residential care depending on one's health and abilities.

   Absolutely amazing staff and well presented retirement home with many housing options from independent living through to medical assisted living with all sorts of events and little day trips on a bus and all sorts of different general knowledge quiz days, ect. Fully recommend as they take well care of all the residents.

   This place is so big with so many elderly. Really sets the standard. Still, expect to see Winston Peter's when he makes his 3rd comeback. Here, he has an audience of 800. Gardens are laid out better than most and is a credit as are the friendly staff.

   Beautifully maintained gardens, very pleasant environment, great little cafe, lovely care staff. My wife and I are both hoping we'll be in a position to purchase a town house in the village when it comes time for us to retire and downsize.

   Beautifully presented as a retirement village. The gardens are beautiful. I have spoken to many residents and they all say they enjoy the community feel and the friendly atmosphere. There is a cafe on site that gets very busy, the staff at the cafe are extremely friendly, first name basis with clients. They always have some activity going on, from swimming to exercise to concerts, bowls outings and shopping, even the picture theatre to playing pool.
