Jack Inglis Aged Care Home

Our aim is to provide additional health services with particular emphasis on the requirements of the Karin van Kuppevelt
CEO

The Friends of Motueka Hospital Trust was established in 1992 by a handful of locals determined to fight the proposed closure of the local hospital. Some 14 years later, in 2006, the Trust had raised enough money to buy the Motueka Community Hospital form the District Health Board. In 2009 a 45 bed facility, comprising of rest home, dementia, hospital and palliative care was opened and named the Jack Inglis Friendship Hospital, in honour of the Chairman of the Trust for his continued work and exceptional fundraising efforts. Since opening, we have grown to a 77 bed facility, with plans set for 2018 to begin building our Retirement Village with serviced Apartments as well as an additional Dementia Wing. We believe that people are our priority and the care and support which we provide is holistic in its approach, encompassing the social, spiritual, physical, cultural and psychological characteristics of each individual. Our aim is to support and assist people to live the best life they can and to maintain their independence and abilities. To achieve this, we take a consultative approach with residents, family/whanau and staff to ensure that the uniqueness of each individual is acknowledged. Our services include:
- Day Activity Programme
- Dementia Care
- Meals on Wheels
- Palliative Care
- Primary Care
- Rest Home & Continuing Care (Hospital)
- Respite Care

We are here for you.

🎂 Happy 90th Birthday to our lovely Anne! 🥳

Today we celebrated a very special lady who brings so much warmth and joy to our home every single day.

The highlight of the day was definitely the beautiful surprise from our Fijian friends, who treated Anne to a stunning rendition of "Happy Birthday." The music filled the room, and the smile on Anne’s face said it all—she absolutely loved every note! 🎶✨

It is such a gift to have you with us, Anne. May your year ahead be as bright and wonderful as you are 💖

Warmest wishes and much love,
The JIACH Family ❤️

Residents enjoyed a lovely Friday morning out for morning tea at the beautiful Mapua Wharf. ☕🌊

With great coffee, tasty treats, and the fresh seaside breeze, everyone had a relaxing time chatting, laughing, and soaking in the stunning views. What a perfect way to start the day! 😊

🏎️ Engines Roaring & Spirits Soaring! 🍦💃

What an absolute blast! Our residents, families, and staff took over the sidewalk for the Moutere Hop Classic Car Parade, and we definitely showed everyone how to throw a street party! 🎉🎉🎉

The engines hadn't even started when the fun began. We stayed busy with:
🔥 A classic BBQ cookout
🍦 Ice cream and lollies for that perfect sugar rush
💃 Dancing in the street (we’ve still got the moves!)
🎡 Big wins on the chocolate wheels

Then came the main event! The roar of the engines was only rivaled by our own cheering and yelling. Between the honking horns and the waving crowds, High Street was the place to be! 🏁✨
It was a day full of chrome, community, and great memories. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Cheep cheep! 🐣💛

Our facility just got a little fluffier! The cutest tiny chicks have officially moved in, and they’ve already stolen everyone’s hearts. The residents had an absolute blast naming each little hatchling — let’s just say we have some very creative poultry parents around here! 🥰😂

These sweet nestlings will be lovingly raised and cared for until they’re all grown up and laying fresh eggs for us. From fluffy babies to future egg-laying queens — we can’t wait to watch them grow! 🥚✨

A huge thank you to the amazing Fijian Boys from Heywoods Orchard for serenading our residents with beautiful island tunes that had everyone smiling and singing along. 🎶💛

Our residents absolutely loved every moment — from the heartfelt songs to the warm handshakes and friendly chats. To top it all off, they generously shared delicious apples and sweet watermelon with us!

Music, laughter, fresh fruit, and wonderful company — what more could we ask for? Vinaka vakalevu, legends! 🌺✨
