Retirement living close to the city centre

Located on Ruakura Road, Hamilton, the close proximity of Hilda Ross Village to the city centre is an ideal location for residents to enjoy their retirement and there's a lifestyle option to suit everyone. You can choose from a townhouse or the extra support of an assisted-living apartment. If your needs change over time, our state-of-the-art care centre provides 151 care rooms offering rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care. Hilda Ross care centre is located within the same village community and, as a Ryman resident, you will have priority access over non-residents at the time of your transfer. Should a space for the type of care the village offers be unavailable at the time of your transfer, we will do our best to accommodate you at another Ryman village that provides the level of care you need* until a space becomes available at Hilda Ross Village.

The amenities include an all-weather bowling green, petanque court, indoor heated swimming pool, spa, grand internal atrium, library, gym, hair salon, bar and shop.

There is always something to do; from organised events and shopping trips, to activities that inspire movement. The measure of a full life at Hilda Ross Village is certainly one that will get richer with age. 

*Care options vary between villages, please check with our team for details of the care offered at each village.

OUR NAMESAKE

 

HildaRoss-Photo-350x350

Each Ryman village is named in honour of a Kiwi or Aussie trailblazer: Anthony Wilding, Lady Diana Isaac, Evelyn Page. They pushed further and set the bar high for others to aspire to. In creating communities that challenge the expectations of ageing, Ryman villages are also setting the bar high. They’re demonstrating that a retirement lifestyle brimming with new experiences, connections and fulfilment is something we should aspire to. Our Kiwi and Aussie namesakes represent the measure of inspiration, while Ryman villages represent the measure of retirement living.

Dame Hilda Ross (1883–1959)

Born Grace Hilda Cuthberta Nixon, Hilda Ross was a social activist and politician. Alongside a lifelong passion for music and playing the piano, she was vitally involved in welfare work and later politics at local and national levels.

Ross was an avid organiser during WWII forming the Hamilton Women’s Auxiliary Volunteer Corps and serving as president of the Lady Galway Guild and the Hamilton Ladies’ Patriotic Committee. Following the death of her husband, she applied her skillset, no-nonsense approach, and determination to politics.

Ross was the first woman to hold a council seat when elected to the Hamilton Borough Council in 1944, then in 1945 she was elected New Zealand National Party MP for Hamilton. She held this seat until her death in 1959. While acting as Minister of Social Security, Minister of Welfare of Women and Children, and Minister of Child Welfare, Hilda’s dedication and fierce advocacy for social welfare significantly benefitted New Zealand.

Among her causes, Ross supported gender equality, equal pay, and the education of girls and women regardless of their career choice. The ‘Mother of New Zealand’ was the 3rd New Zealand woman to be awarded an Order of the British Empire, DBE.

Hilda’s generosity and commitment to the Aotearoa community were immense. Her life and work have been documented online in the Te Ara Encyclopaedia.
