Excellence in Care Awards Finalist

At the end of 2025, we were proud to be selected as finalists in the Excellence in Care Awards – Innovative Delivery Award for our care facility, Kensington House at Remuera Gardens.

This recognition celebrated our Holistic Dance Exercise Programme, created by our Group Culture, Care and Quality Manager, Reign Marcial.

Our team attended the Aged Care Association Conference in Christchurch to present a video documentary showcasing the programme and the health benefits it has brought to our village.

The programme blends standing and seated movements with elements of tai chi, meditation, rhythm and tapping, and qigong — supporting both physical wellbeing and emotional connection.

You can watch the video here to see the beautiful energy and joy this programme brings to our residents.

A village with heart

“I’ve never had a moment’s doubt about my decision to move to Epsom Village.” Like Karen, so many of our residents are so happy with their new lifestyle that they don’t want to keep it to themselves. As a proud New Zealand family-owned village, we offer a level of care, warmth, and personal connection that big corporate operators simply can’t replicate. With only 90 residents, Epsom Village is intimate, charming, and distinctive — a place with real character and soul.
