Our Vision
To create a loving, warm and homely atmosphere where each person is supported to experience each moment richly.
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
In these ways we enrich each person, the community and the world.
Our Staff Team
Our team cares for and connects with each person who lives at Millvale House as 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
Our team has been hand-picked with great care. We have the knack of working with people with dementia. We know how to love and care for someone as if that person is our very best friend.
We believe that the people who make up our Millvale team need to be nurtured too. Millvale offers a service where all team members can see the doctor free of charge. Staff Support is offered by Millvale and delivered by Workplace Support N.Z. This means the people who make up our team are assisted to be completely available to the people they care for.
Marjorie Nillo - Clinical Manager
I am very proud to lead the Millvale care team. My job is rich and varied, with every day bringing new challenges and magic moments with residents, family members and staff.
I provide support and supervision to the registered nurse team. I know exactly how each resident is doing each day, and enjoy one to one interaction with them on a daily basis. I am always available if any registered nurse needs to talk about the care of a resident. I orientate all care staff with a comprehensive orientation programme and really enjoy seeing new staff develop skills in working with our residents in accordance with our vision and values and the Best Friends philosophy of care. I enjoy many special moments with the residents, and am passionate about helping to achieve the best possible outcomes for them.
