Metlifecare's Northland villages offer a range of living options to suit different stages of retirement. Independent living, where you own and live in your own villa with the security and community of a village, is available at all three Northland villages: Oakridge Villas in Kerikeri, The Tides in Mangawhai and Whangārei Park Village. For those who need a higher level of support, aged care, the kind of care sometimes searched for as a rest home, is available on site at Oakridge Villas and Whangārei Park Village. This means residents at these villages can often move to more support while staying in the community they already know, rather than relocating elsewhere.

If you're looking for retirement homes or rest homes in Kerikeri, Metlifecare's Oakridge Villas is located right in the heart of the town. Oakridge offers independent living villas with a laid-back, year-round holiday lifestyle and resort-style facilities, along with aged care on site for residents who need a higher level of support, the kind of care often described as a rest home. Because both independent living and aged care are available at the same village, many residents can settle in while they're active and remain in familiar surroundings if their care needs change over time. To see what's currently available, you can request a village information pack or book a tour.

Yes. The Tides is the first retirement village in Mangawhai, a new coastal community nestled between the estuary, the beaches and the local golf course. It brings together modern villas and resort-style amenities with the relaxed warmth Mangawhai is known for, making it well suited to those wanting a coastal, independent retirement lifestyle. The Tides currently focuses on independent living rather than rest home or aged care. People who would like aged care available within their village may wish to consider Metlifecare's other Northland villages, such as Oakridge Villas in Kerikeri or Whangārei Park Village, which offer aged care on site.
