About Us

As part of Heritage Health Care services; Karetu House is a 68 bed rest home/hospital located in Greenlane/Newmarket. 

Our new wing was finished in August 2023 and we are now taking new admissions. The new rooms are roomy with many having ensuites.

We have a registered nurse on every shift, a physio that visits regularly and does the Doctor.

 We accommodate unique people and pride ourselves on individual care. We work to maximise independence and focus on wellness. Our activities coordinator here at Karetu is absolutely wonderful. We take our residents fishing, to the ice cream factory, to concerts, on bus trips at least 2x a week and so on.
