Cashmere Home has a relaxed, yet vibrant and engaging atmosphere.
Residents tell us they enjoy the home-like environment, strong community connections and fantastic recreation programme – Cashmere Home is known for its fantastic cultural days and special events.
The Cashmere Home team is committed to ensuring the elders of Cashmere Home have top quality healthcare, as well as companionship, spontaneity, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose in their lives.
Cashmere Home is one of just a few aged care facilities in New Zealand with full Eden Alternative certification – the internationally recognised elder-directed model of care. It first received certification in 2014 when only one other New Zealand home had reached this pinnacle of elder-directed care.
Cashmere Home and Cashmere Heights Home also have 4-year Ministry of Health certification – the maximum certification achievement that has be awarded by the ministry.
To achieve certification the homes underwent a rigorous audit process which looked at a multitude of things, including the way residents are cared for, how staff interact with the residents, how policies and procedures are followed and applied, documentation standards and time frames, the general environment as well as the satisfaction levels of residents, families and staff.

We also encourage you to set up your room just how you like it. Bring along your own familiar things that make you feel right at home (even your cat can come!).
Many residents bring items such as photographs, artwork, ornaments, bed covers and even favourite pieces of furniture.
Like any family home, at Cashmere Home there are great shared spaces, including lounges, gardens and courtyards. Residents and their visitors use these spaces whenever they like, to socialise, do activities and host visitors.
