Our residents and families rest assured knowing that our team at Monte Vista is providing class-leading care. We are proud that Monte Vista currently holds 4 year certification from the Ministry of Health, placing it within an elite group of homes independently assessed as providing very high quality of care.  

Monte Vista is the only independent hospital-level care provider in the greater Taupo area not related to a retirement village operator. This means that all our efforts at Monte Vista are focussed solely on providing great care, without compromise or distraction.  

As one of the most iconic towns in New Zealand, Taupo provides a quintessentially Kiwi locale for great rest care. Nestled in a quiet suburb (while still being a stone throw away from the town centre), Monte Vista boasts exceptional views of Lake Taupo and Mt Ruapehu, guaranteed to delight residents and families alike.
                                                    
The building itself provides a perfect interior for great care. Based on an easy layout, wings extend out from a central communal lounge, with all bedrooms conveniently close to it  and the dining room. Each wing sports a separate smaller lounge often used as a quiet  space, allowing for flexible living options.    
Beautiful gardens and grounds around the building perfectly compliment the views, with an easily accessible flow between indoor and outdoor areas. Plenty of spaces for quiet reflection, as well as activities (yes, we admit we do love the occasional hangi), means residents are never left wanting for ways in which to enjoy the fresh Waikato air.
 
Monte Vista is well-known in the local community for its friendly and family-like atmosphere. Schools and community groups regularly visit and integrate with our residents, with plenty of cultural events and celebrations to entertain, surprise, and delight residents. 
 
We provide a range of single rooms, with options for couples and some en suites available. Many of our light and bright rooms have direct views onto and over the lake..

Life in Our Homes

In a home where many residents live, it’s important to us to celebrate your individuality, make you feel valued, and respect your contributions. 

Whether you want to read, paint, enjoy the outdoors, or almost any other thing imaginable, our care focusses on creating an environment where you have both the time and support to do what makes you happy. Our activities program is designed to give you a way to be part of the social life in the home, and also to do what you enjoy. 

Activities programs are daily events staff facilitate with residents based on their preferences. Upon admission, our Activities Coordinator will work with care staff to understand your needs, and incorporate your preferences into the overall activity program. 

Our unique activities program is run on a daily basis, and planned a week in advance. This means our residents and families can see what activities we are planning, and even make special requests. 

Our activities teams regularly organize mobility vans or other transport to take residents out for special events. Some residents have complex levels of care, making it difficult for them to participate in activities. In these cases, we make every effort to move beds and wheelchairs into communal or outdoor areas, and to do what we can. 

Please ask the Manager about how we can accommodate you preferences in our activities programs.

Testimonials 

“I enjoy the fact that independence is encouraged. This means I can come and go as I please. I enjoy the staff, the meals and the extras that they do for us. I was pleased to be asked to be the Maori Advocate for Monte Vista and it’s good to see that the staff are learning about all cultures.” Gene, 74 years 

“I was devastated and disorientated when I had to leave and close up my home. Now I don’t think there could be a better place to be.  Monte Vista is so well run and the staff are so kind. The meals are tasty and of course I have some favourites like macaroni cheese, shepherds pie and roasts. There are always plenty of cups of tea offered to me. I don’t feel lonely as I have plenty of visitors, and there are always visiting Taupo people that come to play the piano and sing.  My eyesight is not good for reading, but I enjoy watching the television in the privacy of my room.” Eden, 101 years 

“I was in hospital and was unable to cope at home, so my daughter and I decided I would come to Monte Vista. I wouldn’t go to any other place in Taupo! I get on so well with all the staff, they are marvellous. We have lots of fun and laughter. I feel so secure here, and warm and happy.” Thelma, 90 years
