The Ranfurly Residential Home offers 24-hour support in a homely, family-like environment where residents are encouraged to develop their independence at their own pace. We focus on helping individuals participate in everyday activities, fostering a sense of belonging in a supportive, family-driven atmosphere.

Residents form lasting friendships while pursuing personal interests, and many attend the Activity Centre. Our open-door policy ensures that family and friends are always welcome to visit and get involved in the community.

Our trained staff provide tailored support, empowering residents to make their own decisions. Regular bi-monthly meetings offer residents the opportunity to voice concerns and share personal goals for self-development.

Each resident enjoys a private room, some with en-suite facilities. The home also features spacious lounges, gardens, and a patio - offering plenty of space for relaxation, socialising, or spending quiet time alone.

Ranfurly Residential Flat

The Residential Flat within the Ranfurly complex opened in 2007 and supports two residents in developing essential living skills. Resident are encouraged to live as independently as possible, with staff providing guidance and support for tasks such as cooking, shopping, and cleaning.

Tucked within the Ranfurly complex, The Mews is a lively, homely flat established in 2007 and it’s been a cherished home for our residents ever since.

Here, our dedicated team supports residents through a practical, hands-on living skills programme designed to build confidence and independence. From evenings through weekends, our staff are there to guide and encourage, helping with everyday tasks like meal prep, shopping, cleaning, and keeping things organised.

The goal? To empower residents to take ownership of their daily routines and embrace the small but meaningful victories of independent living. At The Mews, we’re all about creating a warm, supportive space where everyone has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and feel at home.

Established in 1998, Cornwall Park Lodge (CPA) is home to eleven permanent residents, offering 24/7 support in a warm and welcoming community setting.

Each resident lives in their own self-contained flat, creating the perfect environment to focus on Ranfurly’s Living Skills Programme designed to build independence, confidence, and everyday life skills.

Residents receive personalised support in key areas of household management, including menu planning, budgeting, shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and personal care. Our staff work alongside residents to help them grow in independence while still having the support they need.

Life at CPA is about more than just routines, social connection and fun are a big part of everyday life. Whether it’s games, music, or a casual catch-ups, residents are encouraged to join in and enjoy themselves. We also celebrate birthdays, host discos, plan outings, and mark special occasions together.

During the week, residents can choose to attend the Activity Centre day programme or take part in paid or voluntary work, depending on their interests and goals.

We are incredibly fortunate to have our very own holiday home, thanks to the generous legacy of our dear friend, the late Gwynn Duncan. Gwynn had a deep love for her Pauanui beach house and the seaside lifestyle, and we know she would be thrilled to see her gift continuing to bring joy to others.

In loving memory of Gwynn and her husband Moss, the property has been named Duncan House.

Gwynn and Moss were founding members of the Society and played an active role in the Ladies’ Fundraising Group. Their son Ian, who had been a student here since the Society’s inception in 1992, lived with us at Ranfurly Road for around five years, starting in 2004. Ian sadly became unwell and passed away peacefully at Ranfurly, leaving behind cherished memories and strong connections within our community.

Today, Duncan House offers a cozy coastal retreat for our residents and students, who enjoy short getaways from Monday to Thursday. On weekends (Friday to Sunday), our dedicated staff have the opportunity to relax and recharge in this special place.

Located just across the road from Arkles Bay, it’s the perfect spot for beach walks, sea swims, and soaking up the sun. It also serves as a great base for exploring local favourites like the Honey Centre, Matakana Village, Sculptureum, and Sheep World.

And of course, no getaway is complete without a visit to the iconic Puhoi Pub for some light beer and hot chips a much-loved tradition among our regulars!

We offer short-term respite care for individuals with intellectual disabilities, giving families and caregivers the chance to rest and recharge.

Respite care provides more than just a break for caregivers, it’s also a positive, enriching experience for the individual. During their stay, they have the opportunity to try new activities, meet new people, and enjoy a change of scenery, all of which support their well-being, confidence, and social connection.
