We’re very lucky to have a team of nurses at Aspiring Village and Aspiring Care. Their experience, compassion, and professionalism are a true asset to our established Wānaka retirement village.
Whether you are living in our independent villas or apartments, our assisted living apartments, or in our care home, nursing support is available at every level. This means residents and their families can feel reassured knowing that care, comfort, and help are always close by.
In our Village
Meet Bernie and Jess, our in-house nurses at the village. They’re here to support our independent living residents with any firsthand medical assistance needed. Whether it’s responding to a St John’s call-out, changing a bandage, or simply offering advice and reassurance, Jess and Bernie are always ready to help. They also run a weekly clinic, do house calls throughout the week and can assist with advocating. Their presence helps our residents maintain independence while knowing help is on hand if needed.
In our Assisted Living Apartments
Meet Bid, our registered nurse in the assisted living apartments. Bid and her highly capable team provide round-the-clock support for any medical needs. Their care brings peace of mind to residents and families alike, knowing that someone is always there, day or night.
At Aspiring Care
At Aspiring Care, our hospital and dementia-level facility, a dedicated team of registered nurses and healthcare assistants are on hand 24/7. They deliver attentive clinical care with kindness and respect, working closely with residents, families, and healthcare providers. Every individual receives personalised support that upholds dignity, comfort, and wellbeing.
The Aspiring Village nursing team plays an important role in supporting village life, offering care, reassurance, and a sense of security when it’s needed most. They don’t just provide medical support — they build relationships and help residents live with confidence. From a friendly check-in to a moment of calm in a difficult time, our nurses bring warmth and connection to daily life.
