Enliven Central

Vibrant elder-centred communities

Enliven aims to create age-friendly communities where people are happy and thrive, regardless of their age or ability. Our homes and villages are places where older people have companionship, variety, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of belonging and purpose.

As well as providing practical day-to-day support and quality clinical care, we take into account the physical, social, emotional and cultural needs of each person we support.

Enliven Central offers a range of positive ageing services across the lower North Island, including eight retirement villages and fourteen care homes. Visit Enliven Central’s website

Positive aging services

Enliven’s range of support services include:

Boutique retirement villages
Each Enliven village is unique but in every community you’ll find high quality, comfortable villas or apartments, a fantastic community spirit, safety and security, plus great neighbours and staff.

Warm, welcoming rest homes
Enliven homes are full of life. They have a sense of vibrancy created by the close-knit communities, elder-directed philosophy and quality care coupled with meaningful activity and fun.

Specialist hospital and dementia care
Respite provides elders living with family carers with short-term rest home or dementia care. Family carers get a chance to take a break and recharge their batteries, while their loved one enjoys a holiday at an Enliven home.

Engaging day programmes
Activity and companionship programmes for older people living in their own homes or with family. For family carers day programmes provide a chance to take a break. It’s also a great opportunity for older people living alone to enjoy quality social interactions.

Short-term respite and health recovery
Respite provides elders living with family carers with short-term rest home or hospital-level recovery care. Family carers get a chance to take a break and recharge their batteries, while their loved one enjoys a holiday at an Enliven home.

Health support, such as Enliven Modified Tai Chi classes
Enliven provides a range of health support services designed to support older people living in the community. Our popular Modified Tai Chi classes are designed to improve attendees mobility and balance, as well as lessen stress and anxiety.
