CHALLENGING PERCEPTIONS AROUND AGEING is at the heart of Ryman Healthcare. The retirement village brand believes that as we age, life should become richer – and that’s exactly what it sets out to do at its villages.

Care is built into the fabric of Ryman villages from the very beginning, inspiring independent residents with confidence to live the way they want, knowing that if their health needs change, they can remain in the village.

“We not only build and operate world-class retirement villages, we provide our residents with opportunities to live their life to the fullest, while giving them peace of mind by knowing that there is always care nearby if they need it,” says Cheyne Chalmers, New Zealand CEO.

Ryman Healthcare extends ‘care’ beyond its villages. Every year a charity is selected, and villages raise funds to put towards it. For its part Ryman Healthcare matches every dollar that they raise.

Ryman also offers several awards, grants and initiatives, including The Ryman Prize – an annual $250,000 award for the world’s best discovery, development, advancement or achievement that enhances quality of life for older people.
