Over the past six decades, The Masonic Villages Trust has developed a well-deserved reputation as the leading provider of around-the-clock quality accommodation, personalised care, and rehabilitation for older New Zealanders.
This is because we are not driven by purely commercial considerations. In keeping with our charitable values, we’re driven to provide the best possible service and care to the residents who choose us.
The Masonic Village Trust operates both Masonic Care Limited and Masonic Village Limited.

All our staff at all our care facilities are committed to our residents’ wellbeing. Our staff are known for their compassion, understanding, dedication and high levels of skill and you can be assured that you or your loved ones will be extremely well looked after at any of our locations.
Our staff include registered and enrolled nurses, physiotherapists, occupational, diversional and speech therapists, and qualified caregivers, all of whom are encouraged and enabled to be involved in training and ongoing professional development. This ensures you or your loved one receives the very best care and attention possible.
We are proud that our five care facilities are the first choice of many New Zealanders.
Each of our retirement villages is unique to its community.
Occupancy is based on two formulae – an Occupation Right Agreement (ORA), which requires a capital payment, and rental accommodation at prices usually below median market rates
Masonic villages are not just less expensive than their commercial counterparts, they are usually smaller and more intimate than commercial villages. Also, the residents tend to know each other, which creates a more vibrant and supportive community.
Residents hardly ever have to pay for repairs around their accommodation, and the service they get from village staff reflects our charitable ethos.
Any surpluses we make are reinvested in our villages – there are no outgoings to profit-driven shareholders, just a great deal of care and consideration for village residents.
