Manawatū-Whanganui Retirement Villages

What many people still call a rest home, Metlifecare provides as aged care, delivered in care homes and care suites within the village community. At Palmerston North Village, aged care is available on site alongside independent living and serviced apartments, so residents can access more support without leaving the community they know. The village is well regarded for its strong emphasis on care, connection and community. It's worth confirming the specific level of care directly with the village.

Palmerston North Village offers aged care on site, and if you or a family member need a higher level of support, the team can talk you through the options. Entry to aged care in New Zealand usually follows a needs assessment (NASC), which your GP can arrange or you can request directly. Because the village combines independent living, serviced apartments and care in one place, it's a practical choice for couples or individuals who want reassurance that care is close at hand.

Palmerston North Village is a close-knit community known for its warm, friendly staff and residents and a strong sense of connection. Its central Palmerston North location on Fitchett Street puts shops, medical services and the city's amenities within easy reach, while the recently added villas offer modern, low-maintenance homes. It suits people who want the convenience of central-city living combined with the security and social life of a village.

The easiest way to get a feel for the village is to visit in person. You can book a village tour at Palmerston North Village or request a village info pack to explore the homes, including the new villas, and compare your options from home. A tour is the best way to see the community, meet the team and understand the living and care options before you decide.
