Ranfurly Care is situated in Epsom, Auckland, virtually on the corner of Ranfurly and Manukau Roads. The site has been a centre for a range of different services for people with intellectual disabilities for many years. It has been the main base for Ranfurly Care since the organisation was incorporated by family members in 1991.

Our Residential Mission

The Ranfurly Care Society promotes the spiritual, physical and intellectual well being of people with an intellectual disability. We stand as an advocate in the community, working for an environment that is protective, caring and educational; offering choices, promoting social contact and building a sense of achievement.

Our Residential Philosophy

We believe in the value of relationships and promoting a harmonious family environment for our residents. We encourage full family support and involvement on a daily basis.

We employ care givers that are committed to providing continuity of care in a secure environment. These caregivers are strongly encouraged to work in a supportive rather than a directive role.

We work to integrate residents in the local and wider community and provide a stimulating and enjoyable choice of programme to suit a diverse range of residents’ needs.

Residents are consulted and services are provided in a culturally appropriate manner, consistent with The Treaty of Waitangi and assisted by local hapu.
