The Christchurch Methodist Mission makes a difference in the lives of hundreds of older persons every year. We provide a range of independent, supported and hospital-level care for older people.
WesleyCare provides care to people who need to move from their own home to a more supportive environment. The range of care spans rest home and hospital level care through to respite and palliative care.
Wesley Village
Wesley Village, for tenants aged over 60, provides affordable rental accommodation in a village environment set on beautiful grounds in Papanui. It comprises 26 bedsits, 12 one-bedroom villas, and 19 one-bedroom apartments. A feature of the complex is the Falkingham Centre, which is often used for Village activities and is available for hire. Social work support and chaplaincy is available to Village tenants.
From July 2024 you must be on the Ministry of Social Development’s (MSD) Public Housing Register to be offered accommodation at Wesley Village. CMM no longer holds a waitlist or takes applications. We are doing this so we can allocate homes to people most in need.
You can find out more about the Public Housing Register here. You can apply to get on the Public Housing Register by calling Work and Income, Senior Services on 0800 552 002. If you are accepted onto the Public Housing Register, you may be offered accommodation by CMM, or another housing provider. Click here to download our information sheet about this process.
Once you are on the Public Housing Register you can call us to discuss your details. Contact Ursula Mullins, Tenancy Manager, on 027 641 4392.
