Your Dining Experience With Monte Vista

Our Kitchens

Monte Vista’s kitchens are always bustling to serve our residents with tasty culinary delights.
Our meal services have ticks in all the boxes; from ensuring the meals themselves are of high quality, prepared by qualified and experienced kitchen teams using premium recipes, to creating a dining atmosphere that you won’t want to leave, we’ve got it all.

Choice makes life interesting, and varied, and gives us opportunities to look forward to each and every day. We enjoy making choices in almost all areas of our lives – so we thought “why should dining be any different?”, and set about doing something different in our restaurant which would set us apart from almost every other residential care provider.

Our Meal Services are made for you

We are very proud we go the extra mile with our dining services where we offer an off-the-menu choice of daily main meals. Having this choice of meals adds tremendous value to the everyday lives of our residents, and we simply can’t resist the opportunity to delight their taste buds.

Meal Service for no additional charge

Note that a choice of meals is not normally offered in residential care (or is a premium ‘added charge’ service if offered at all); however, we provide it as part of our standard service for no additional fee. In fact, we quietly hope that all aged care providers will catch on to this and do it for their clients one day.

“I was in hospital and was unable to cope at home, so my daughter and I decided I would come to Monte Vista. I wouldn’t go to any other place in Taupō!! I get on so well with all the staff, they are marvellous. We have lots of fun and laughter. I feel so secure here, and warm and happy. I think I have the best room at Monte Vista because of the view of the mountains and lake. My family visit often and they are happy that I feel so settled. I enjoy the entertainment, especially the line dancers and the lady who comes to play the piano accordion. Every Monday the Piano Ladies come and we all do lots of singing. Kath and I always sing the Monte Vista theme song, which is ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary"
