Choosing Ryman means embracing retirement living, your way. In our villages, you’ll find the perfect blend of independence and community, with premium amenities, award-winning services, and a range of care options. Discover a retirement filled with opportunity and a lifestyle that brings you joy.

Located in Te Kamo, Jane Mander Village is set amongst beautiful gardens with views to the hills. Enjoy a lifestyle where you can take off on holiday knowing your home is safe and secure with lawns mowed, windows washed and mail collected while you’re away. Soak up the peace and quiet in your own sanctuary, or make the most of the village amenities like savouring a coffee at our village café or playing with the grandkids in the pool.

Our residents live in spaces created to inspire, indulge and entertain. Apartments and townhouses are designed with easy living in mind, while assisted living in a serviced apartment offers the benefits of independent living with added support to make life easier, including housekeeping and delicious chef-prepared meals.

When you feel like being social, it’s easy to challenge friends to a game of bowls on the bowling green or catch up with friends at our weekly Happy Hour.

Enhance your wellbeing with our ACC-accredited Triple A fitness programme, gym, and a social calendar of activities, events, and trips to choose from. Some residents like to organise their own hobby groups when they meet people within the village who share their interests.

Connection is woven into the fabric of our communities, and social networks grow as residents form friendships with like-minded people. Our team see our residents as family and are always keen for a story and a laugh. You’ll find your people in a Ryman village.

Along with independent and assisted living, Jane Mander Village offers a range of care options to support you. These include rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances you can also choose to receive rest home care in your own serviced apartment.

Trust is built over time, and Ryman has been recognised in the Trusted Brands Awards for 13 years in a row. We've won an incredible 11 times and been highly commended twice. Our residents and their families know they can rely on Ryman, year after year. This recognition is complemented by our Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers, highlighting the exceptional lifestyle and amenities our villages offer.

It's what sets us apart, and we invite you to visit to experience it for yourself. Better still, talk to our residents and their families - they're the experts!

Excellent care at Jane Mander
5 / 5 ★
Having spent quite some time visiting my dad in the hospital wing of JM, I see first hand how demanding this job can be - it is not easy to care for so many high needs residents at the same time. The JM staff do it very professionally and with kindness, and I wanted to acknowledge their efforts. I feel my dad is getting an excellent level of care and this gives me great comfort.

Seldom have music and only at low volume, so people are able to communicate and enjoy togetherness. Staff also are noisy with dishes and talk. Training needed here to work quietly.
