Aged care provider Radius Residential Care has made tangible progress on its plan to build 20 new care homes across New Zealand, with a focus on the West Coast. The company has confirmed it is moving forward with the development of the first care village, which will include multiple residential units designed to support elderly residents.
The project is part of a broader strategy to expand Radius Care’s network of aged care facilities, with the West Coast site selected for its accessibility and community needs. Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, with the first units slated for completion by early 2025. The initiative aims to provide more localized care options for aging populations, reducing the need for long-distance travel to urban centers.
Radius Care has previously outlined plans to create a sustainable model of aged care that integrates health services, social activities, and housing. The West Coast village will be the first of several such developments, with additional sites planned in other regions. The company has not yet released specific details on funding or staffing arrangements for the new facility.
