Our retirement villages offer a range of care options - not as an add-on, but woven into the fabric of our villages.
Logan Campbell care centre offers a range of care options including rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care. Like all aspects of our villages, we constantly look for ways to improve both the care we provide and the innovation behind it. Care is customised using our myRyman Care app and residents love the food in our seasonal Delicious menu, which is prepared fresh on site by village chefs.
Logan Campbell Village is one of over 90 percent of established Ryman villages that have been awarded 4-year certification by the Ministry of Health. It’s recognised as the ‘gold standard’ in care.
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.
Sir John Logan Campbell (1817-1912)
A prominent New Zealand public figure, Sir John Logan Campbell was described as ‘the father of Auckland’ by his contemporaries. An influential figure, he was the 3rd Superintendent of Auckland Province and the 17th Mayor of Auckland City.
As one of the two Europeans to first settle in the Auckland area, Sir John built the first house and shop alongside fellow settler William Brown, a Scottish lawyer. The two went into business together, forming Auckland’s first merchant firm, Brown and Campbell. Sir John continued to be a leading figure in early Auckland’s business and public spheres.
Following a 15-year departure back to Europe, Sir John stepped back into the Auckland business community. He sat on many company and community boards and became a director of the Bank of New Zealand, New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, and New Zealand Insurance Company. An impending royal visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall saw him approached to be the Mayor of Auckland for their visit. He agreed to be a representative only and was voted in during April 1901 before stepping down after the royal visit in July that same year.
A philanthropic man, Sir John donated significant parcels of his land to the New Zealand public – Auckland’s Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill. He set aside funds for a memorial to the Maori people on One Tree Hill. He is buried in the centre of the forecourt leading to the monument.
Reminiscences of a long life, edited and introduced by R. C. J. Stone, offers insight into Sir John’s life and the formation of Auckland, largely through his own words.
