Virginia Lodge

Nestled in the heart of Manawatu-Wanganui, Virginia Lodge has been a cherished beacon of care and comfort for our community since its humble beginnings. Over the years, we've grown from a small resting place to a comprehensive Rest and Convalescent Home, offering top-notch services to those seeking respite or long-term care. Our story began with a shared vision: To create an environment where our dear elders could not just survive, but truly thrive. We've poured our hearts into every detail, crafting a warm and inviting space that feels like home. From the moment you step through our doors, you're greeted by friendly faces, the aroma of freshly prepared meals, and a sense of belonging that is simply unparalleled. At Virginia Lodge, we understand that life doesn't stop when one enters convalescent care. That's why we've designed our days to be filled with purposeful activities, engaging programs, and spiritual gatherings—all tailored to the unique needs and interests of each resident. From a lively game of bingo to a quiet afternoon of knitting, there's always something for everyone. We take pride in our exceptional nursing care, ensuring that every resident receives the attentive and compassionate care they deserve. Our team of dedicated professionals are not just caregivers—they're family. They treat each resident with kindness, dignity, and respect, fostering an atmosphere where healing, growth, and joy can flourish. As for mealtime, we believe it's more than just sustenance. It's a chance to share stories, laughter, and connection over delicious, nutritious meals prepared fresh daily. We cater to individual dietary needs with grace and flexibility, ensuring that every bite is not only nourishing but also enjoyable. In times of need, we offer respite care—a sanctuary for those in need of a temporary break from the responsibilities of caring for a loved one at home. And when the time comes to say goodbye, we provide church services and support, helping our community navigate this difficult journey with dignity and grace. Virginia Lodge is more than just a Rest and Convalescent Home—it's a family. It's a community where love, care, and compassion are at the heart of everything we do. So, whether you're seeking respite care, convalescent care, or aged residential care in Manawatu-Wanganui, come join our family and experience the Virginia Lodge difference for yourself.
