A state of the art development, our home in Christchurch has beautiful grounds and emanates peace and calm.

Welcome to Nazareth House in Christchurch, where we have been providing care for the elderly since 1905. The values of love, compassion, patience, respect, justice and hospitality are guiding principles underpinning all we do.  A strong sense of community, our residents often comment it provides ‘a sense of peace, welcoming and belonging’.

We look forward to welcoming you for a tour.
