Nestled in peaceful, beautifully landscaped gardens close to Rangiora town centre, Charles Upham Village welcomes residents seeking independence with community. Whether you choose a light, spacious townhouse, a comfortable apartment, or a serviced apartment with added support, you'll find yourself part of a vibrant village where there's always something to do—from organised outings and movie nights to swimming, bowls, and time with grandchildren. Should your care needs change, the on-site care centre with 120 rooms offers rest home, hospital, and specialist dementia care, all within the same community you call home.
Choose from light, spacious townhouses designed with the 70-plus person in mind, independent apartments with room for everyone, or serviced apartments that combine independence with housekeeping and chef-prepared meals.
Community is central to life at Charles Upham.
Residents enjoy a full calendar of organised events, social outings, and activities that inspire movement and connection. The village café, dining room, and bar create natural gathering spaces, while the movie theatre, library, workshop, and craft room cater to every interest and passion.
If your health changes, you won't have to leave the place you know. Charles Upham Retirement Village offers these levels of care on site:
Located on Charles Upham Drive in Rangiora, the village sits in peaceful, beautifully landscaped gardens with convenient access to the town centre. The neighbourhood offers the historic Town Hall Movie Theatre (dating to the early 1900s), Conway Lane with its cafés and boutique shopping, and Victoria Park with its rose garden and shaded areas. The setting combines modern village amenities with a rural feel and easy access to local services.
