Our Vision


Our care centres create a homely atmosphere where each person is encouraged to develop and express their passion for living.

Our Values


We strive to achieve this vision by promoting:

  • The uniqueness of each person
  • The immense value of each person
  • Openness, honesty and integrity

Dementia Care Specialists & Rest Homes

Our Dementia care Rest Homes provide a specialised care for the elderly. We also provide continuing or high dependancy Hospital care.

Our Philosophy:

  • Connecting with each person we care for as we would a very best friend means that people feel loved and important. A best friend accepts you as you are, believes in you, forgives your mistakes, really listens to you, jokes with you, loves to hear you laugh.

  • Families/whanau are part of the community we have. They are involved in their loved ones care. They are encouraged to share their in-depth and intimate knowledge of their loved one. There is much honesty and openness. This builds trusting relationships between us all. We know family and family know us.

  • A small home that provides people with stability. Things seem familiar – a private bedroom with things in it from home, sunny spots to sit in, a garden.

  • Each staff person is someone with ability and with a potential for growth. There is much opportunity for every staff member. Each staff member can have a positive impact on residents, their family and their team.

  • Ensuring that people can continue with their old roles, if they wish, like collecting the mail, folding the washing, sweeping the floor, doing some gardening means that they have a purpose in life. They can be involved in the running of their home.

  • As we work in these ways, people are more contented and participate in life more fully. They have their greatest chance at being physically healthy and emotionally the best they can be.

Our team cares for and connects with each person who lives with us like we would a very best friend. This means that people feel loved and important.

We:

- Accept you as you are
- Really listen to you
- Love to hear you laugh
- Forgive your mistakes
- Have fun together
