Service Information

Facility information supplied by provider.

This business is part of Ryman Healthcare Ltd.

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 close to Pukekohe town centre, Possum Bourne Village is set in beautifully landscaped gardens with a supermarket nearby. 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 catching a movie with friends 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, Possum Bourne Village offers a range of care options to support you. These include rest home, hospital, dementia and respite 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!

Independent Living
3 / 5 ★
I feel there is so much competition from management it is run as an institution cutting costs all round. It is a retirement village.

In general I do enjoy living here
3 / 5 ★
In general I do enjoy living here. Suits me. However management is blind to the needs and requests from residents. Its great being with people about my own age and interests, and there is plenty to do however I believe the management lets us down.

Excellent Maintenance
2 / 5 ★
Positives: Excellent maintenance of gardens and repairs, making of new friends.
Negatives: Management - not interested in independent residents, far too corporate and money focused. Very unfriendly.

Know who your residents are and greet them with a hello and a smile
Reviewer: Anonymous 23 May 2024
Facility Response: We are sorry to hear that you had this experience. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Staff need REAL training in empathy and care
2 / 5 ★
Hire more people who genuinely care about the residents and don't just look at them as a paycheck and make residents feel like they are to much of an issue to look after. More variety of culture of staff would be appreciated. STOP SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGES THAT RESIDENTS CANT UNDERSTAND IT IS RUDE.
