Get in touch

When it comes to everyday life, Highfield makes it easy with Rest Home Care. The well-appointed rooms all look out onto sheltered courtyards or landscaped gardens and come complete with a nurse call system and WiFi.

Part of the close-knit town of Timaru, Highfield is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, just a short drive from the town centre.

We offer everything from hairdressing to speech therapy, physiotherapy, SKY TV and podiatry. We have a range of recreational activities including board games, happy hour, gardening, crafts, free sports sweepstakes and indoor bowls. Our Care Home van is also always on hand for outings.

Betty likes a laugh which is what she does when we ask what 'A Better Everyday' means to her...

Betty, Heritage Resident

The people who live here are the heart of the whole place, without them we don’t have our Care Home.

To me 'A Better Everyday' means different things to different people and they really get that here

Levels of care

Rest Home Care

If you or a loved one have a medical condition or are less able to lead an independent life, our Rest Home living offers dedicated 24/7 care from our team of registered nurses and trained carers.

Hospital Care

If you or a loved one suffer from significant disabilities or medical conditions, particularly where the loss of cognitive abilities is a recognised factor, our Hospital Care could be just what you’re looking for.
