Welcome to Kate Sheppard Lifecare

Choosing a residential care facility for yourself or your family member is one of the most important decisions you'll make. As a leading residential care provider in Christchurch, at Kate Sheppard Lifecare we aim to make the transition to supported care easier.

Kate Sheppard Lifecare is situated in New Brighton Road between the beachside suburb of New Brighton and Avondale. Positioned within twelve hectares of park-like surroundings, Kate Sheppard facilities have a unique lakefront setting and outlook to the Southern Alps.

Amenities, including The Palms and Eastgate shopping malls and QEII sports and aquatic centre, are within easy driving distance.

At Kate Sheppard we understand that in moving into supported care you will want to make your new environment your home. A great deal of care has therefore been taken to provide facilities that are beautifully presented and inviting. At Kate Sheppard all bedrooms are well appointed, have ensuites, and are large enough for you to incorporate personal possessions.

At Kate Sheppard we are committed to maintaining independence, dignity and respect through excellent quality care.

We provide a range of services at Kate Sheppard to meet a range of needs including:

• Day care services
• Respite care
• Supported independent living in Studios under License to Occupy Agreements

Our experienced clinical and carer team tailors services to meet individual needs and ensure you and your family/whanau have the ability to make informed decisions about your care. It is our mission statement that:

“All residents are unique and merit the highest respect whilst receiving quality care. The ongoing involvement of family/whanau is essential to the resident’s wellbeing”.
