Here for you when you need us most.
At Alden, we’re guided by a simple belief that everyone deserves compassionate, trusted, and respectful care as they age, no matter their means or background.
So when we say we’re ‘here for you’, we mean villages and care homes that reflect their community and celebrate the diverse personalities and cultures of the local people.
Because, like our name, which means ‘old friend,’ we will always strive to be here for you when you need us most.
That’s the Alden promise.

Who we are
Originally known as the Ultimate Care Group, we started in 2007 with 13 facilities and over time have grown to now operate 19 community-focused homes around the country. We are proudly one of New Zealand’s largest family owned care providers. All of our facilities are well-established in their local areas and have been operating successfully for many years.
At Alden, we are committed to providing compassionate, trusted, and respectful care for all our elders, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our goal is to offer high-quality specialist residential aged care and independent living, while continuously improving our services. We aim to expand by acquiring additional facilities, maintaining high standards, and offering support to both residents and their families. Above all, we strive to ensure that every resident is treated with kindness and respect.
We understand that making decisions about care for an elderly relative, friend, family member or patient can be a worrying process, but we are here to guide you at every step of the way.
