Santa Maria

Welcome to Santa Maria, nestled in the heart of beautiful Canterbury. Since our humble beginnings, we've been a beacon of warmth, care, and companionship for our community's elderly. Over the years, we've grown from a small resting place into a comprehensive Retirement Village, offering convalescent homes that cater to various needs. Our story began when a group of compassionate individuals recognized the need for a sanctuary where seniors could find peace and care during their golden years. Since then, we've upheld the same values, blending modern nursing practices with traditional church services, providing a holistic approach to aged residential care. At Santa Maria, every day is filled with purposeful activities designed to keep our residents active, engaged, and fulfilled. From lively games of bingo to quieter moments of meditation, we strive to cater to everyone's interests. Our dedicated team ensures that each meal is not just nourishing but also a delight for the senses, using only the freshest ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. Our convalescent care services are more than just medical attention; they are about healing in mind, body, and spirit. We understand that recovery isn't just about getting better physically, but emotionally and socially as well. That's why we provide a supportive environment where our residents can heal at their own pace, surrounded by kindness and understanding. Santa Maria is more than just a retirement village or a convalescent home; it's a community. A community where every resident matters, where everyone's story is valued, and where each day brings new opportunities for connection, growth, and happiness. So, whether you're looking for a temporary resting place or a permanent home, we invite you to join our family at Santa Maria. Here, age doesn't define ability; it celebrates experience and wisdom. Come, be a part of our story, and let us be a part of yours.
