Enliven Southland operates four care homes across Invercargill and Gore: Peacehaven, Walmsley House, Vickery Court, and Resthaven. As a branch of Presbyterian Support Southland, Enliven is committed to providing high-quality residential and hospital-level care in welcoming, park-like environments. Each of their homes features spacious, light-filled common areas and tranquil courtyards that overlook beautifully maintained gardens, creating a warm and restful atmosphere for their residents.
At Enliven, they believe a move into care is simply a change of address – not a change of lifestyle. Residents maintain choice, independence, and dignity. But for many, the highlight of their day is a friendly chat with someone from the outside world — that could be you!
