A Christchurch rest home company giving residents just six weeks to move out is under investigation by the government watchdog for retirement villages.

Rest home residents at Merivale Retirement Village were told last week that they may need to move out by April 1 because a new replacement facility has fewer beds.

The company that owns the retirement company has links to a host of All Blacks – including skipper Kieran Read. It was revealed on Tuesday managing director and main shareholder Jenny Stokes left to go on holiday shortly after residents were told.
