Living Life...Loving Life
Our motto, ‘living life…loving life’ reflects our desire to make Archer a great place for you to become a family member of.
To ‘love life’ in all its fullness and enjoy each day for the treasure it is.
We are committed to offering our ‘LIFE’ Vision to everyone involved at Archer, and I hope you enjoy learning about this.
Loving Life : Enriching Lives
Many places try to minimise the physical ailments we face as we grow older, while Archer focuses on the human spirit.
A healthy spirit translates to a healthy body. We want to enrich people’s lives by either fostering or reconnecting you with your interests and passions. Through the Archer ‘LIFE’ Vision we strive to offer a Purpose to live for today, Hope to enjoy tomorrow, and Companionship through the family you become a part of.
Investment : Ensuring affordbility
Archer strives to offer an affordable range of services, and where possible a fee structure will be personalised to consider your situation.
Please check our Admissions Agreement to view the current Fees Schedule.
Faith : Embracing Faith
Archer was founded with a Christian belief and set of values, but we welcome everyone from all walks of life.
At Archer we provide opportunities for people to explore faith and what it means to them, to discuss and consider the Christian faith, and make their own decisions from that.
We employ a Chaplain who is involved in the weekly life of the Archer Ministries. Our Chaplain is happy to meet with people as needed and oversees the two weekly devotionals and a weekly interdenominational church service held each Sunday.
Exciting : Encouraging Adventure
‘Living life…Loving life’ 
We hope that everyone at Archer will really ‘love their life’ through the friendships they make, warmth and care provided, home-style meals provided and range of activities and special events we offer to meet a diverse range of personal tastes.
Our aim is that people are ‘living life’ and enjoying themselves so much that they will end up ‘loving life’ as a family member of Archer Care.
We have a dedicated Activities Team that prepare a monthly calendar of activities for everyone. Each month this programme is changed to ensure there is a variety of activities to suit a range of interests and abilities. Activities include such things as: daily current affairs presentation, knitting circle, scrabble, happy hour, bowls, library, shopping, special guests, entertainers, van excursions, and much more.
There are a number of special events during the year, like a Mid-Winters Banquet, day trips to places like Akaroa and Hanmer Springs. There is also an annual ‘Camp Holiday’ which in previous years has included travelling to the West Coast, Marlborough Sounds and the Mt Cook, and yes we even go jet boating! Our most senior resident to date, is 95!!
