Often described and ‘green and leafy’ the gardens and surrounding at Archer Thorrington are best experienced than described. Set in the quiet and sheltered “Beckenham Loop’ area, the village and care home offers peace and tranquility in extensive park like surroundings while being just five minute walk to shops, cafes and restaurants and regular buses to central Christchurch.

Archer Thorrington offers the small village atmosphere with only 36 independent villas alongside the onsite care home and ideally suits residents looking for an established, friendly village feel while remaining close to the local community and primary health care facilities and doctors.

Each month, our staff organise a diverse range of activities and events for residents as part of our ‘Thrive Lifestyle & Events’ program.

Like Archer Beckenham Village, Thorrington Village & Care Home is only a short distance from essential healthcare facilities, including Christchurch Hospital, making it easier for residents to access medical tests and procedures when needed. Support services, such as Nurse Maude, are also close by to provide care when required.

For residents needing medical support, Archer gives priority access to our care homes for short-term stays, respite care, or full-time residential care, and specialized Dementia care (subject to availability).
