New name. Same heart. Read more.

We are looking forward to your upcoming visit with us. As part of our human-centered care that is deeply rooted in human connections, our staff will strive to ensure you are ‘seen’ for who you are, how you identify, and what unique care you might need.

We call this Ngā Rākau Turuturu – the covenant of the weaving pegs

  • We will listen to you

    And your family/support carers

  • We will manaaki you

    Uplift and carry your spirit, your soul when required

  • We will walk beside you

    If you are struggling with anything, do not hesitate to ask anyone to help you

  • We will show our heartwood

    You will experience the versions of our staff their loved ones experience at home

These principles woven together are the very fibres, the fabric your unique care plan will be held together by. Like any garment or korowai that is woven...

If you have any questions about Ngā Rākau Turuturu, please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly staff, who will be happy to explain what this human-centered nature of care means for you as our patient and for us as your carers.
