Known for its popular shops, cafés and beaches, Milford also has a great reputation for care - delivered in the heart of the Shore at Lady Allum. A treasure of the local community, Lady Allum is a place where residents and their families can feel at home, and rely on staff for a kind and thoughtful approach. Whether you enjoy socialising or quiet time, how you spend your day is up to you. Find a friend and join in the day’s events in the main lounges or relax in one of our many cosy nooks.
At Lady Allum, we offer a range of Premium Rooms including Care Suites, which means no matter your needs or budget, there are plenty of options.
Care Suites are designed to give you more flexibility, plus that little bit of luxury you deserve. Both Rest Home and Hospital care can be provided in your Care Suite, which means you can relax knowing you won’t have the upheaval of moving again if your needs increase.
Your Care Suite is designed to be your forever home, so you’ll be able to stay in the same familiar place, with your friends around you and the staff who know you best caring for you. You own the right to occupy your Care Suite, so you can personalise it with your favourite furniture and treasured pieces. A DHB assessment is not required for care that is paid for privately.
All Care Suites have a heat pump and full en-suite, as well as a kitchenette with a fridge and a microwave – perfect for making a cuppa when friends and family come to visit.
Hop in the village van for a jaunt, you’ll never know where it will take you next. Hot chips on the on the beach, or off to the Winter Gardens at the Domain, there’s an exciting destination each week. If you fancy a trip without going far, try our award-winning virtual reality experience where you can be transported around the world in the comfort of your favourite chair. Or if it’s music you’re into, enjoy your own personalised playlist with I Love Music. Furry friends, Spring Flings, visits from Plunket babies and theme days, there’s something for everyone no matter what you’re interested in.
Tender Sunday roasts, hot fish and chips and scrummy homemade puddings… there’s a reason why the dining room is full before dinner! All of the above are regular features on our menu, which is packed with tasty family favourites you’d make at home. You’ll be sure to be up for second helpings!
Great care is what we do and we’ve got the accolades to prove it. Oceania’s won the supreme award from the New Zealand Aged Care Association 3 years in a row, so you can be sure you’re in good hands. When it comes to your care, you know what you like and don’t like - and we want to know too. Because everyone is different all our residents get a personalised care plan. From meals to medications, everything that’s important to you is covered.
Milford Centre and Shore City are just a short drive away, so you’re spoilt for choice with a range of cafes and shops to enjoy. Many of Auckland’s most popular beaches are within the neighbourhood, perfect for a stroll along the beach or an ice cream. If you’re looking for something even closer, the local garden centre is within walking distance and is a favourite with the residents.

I would sincerely like to thank all the staff here at Lady Allum, on behalf of the family, you have all gone over and above to make Mum's life here so wonderful these past few years.
In Lady Allum, everyone was so friendly that Mum made lots of new friends. She had never been one to join any clubs or groups during her life and yet here she was joining in absolutely everything - and loving it!
"Please pass on our thanks to you and your team who have done a marvellous job in caring and settling dad in. The professionalism and level of care has been excellent."
"You are all very special people, I saw the dignity and respect you show all the residents including my mum, I head back overseas in the knowledge she is very well cared for."
"I love to be here. The staff are absolutely incredible. I feel so safe and that's the main thing."
"Rettie, thank you, all of your staff have done more than we could have ever achieved alone. 2 years and 5 months after our mum fell down and broke her hip – she has melted with your persistent loving care and got up from her chair. Mum’s psychogeriatricist said she may never get up. You have proved this wrong."
"The staff I had most contact with were Diane, Lorraine and Mia. They have been just fantastic, but I realise that everyone has contributed to Mum’s overall care. There were mornings when I had to wait for the staff to finish hugging Mum and telling her to have a lovely time when I came to take her out."
"It occurs to me that 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.' To me this means the endless patience, encouragement, support and tireless care your staff give my family cannot be understated."
"Just want to let you know how happy and grateful our family is, not only for the superb care you’re providing for our Mum but also for the wonderful respect and kindness everyone shows to residents and family members."
"On more than one occasion, the nurses came in to talk to Alan and say goodbye to him for the day, before they left at the end of their shift. They all loved him and cared for him in a most special way, even though Alan was unable to speak very much due to a stroke."
"The wonderful feeling of safety cannot be underestimated. The ability to join any activity, watch or abstain gives a great sense of freedom. I have enjoyed the companionship of similar ages like me and getting to know the amazing talent of these new friends. I have found the nursing staff so patient, caring an loving to their very dependent patients. God bless them."
