History

Metlifecare was founded and first listed on the NZX in 1994 by NZ businessman Cliff Cook. Cook is no longer involved with the company but is now developing other retirement village projects in the UK.[3]

Metlifecare acquired the Private Life Care assets of Retirement Villages New Zealand Limited and Vision Senior Living Limited in May 2012 as part of a three way merger. [4][5] This grew Metlifecare to a village portfolio of 25 as at December 2015.[6]

Major investors in Metlifecare now include Infratil, one of New Zealand's largest infrastructure investor, in partnership with the New Zealand Superannuation Fund[7]
