Meet Green Gables’ warm and experienced new Care Manager

Oceania Healthcare

Oceania has always believed in better and so does Green Gables’ new Care Manager, Jackie Mackenzie-Howe.

As a proud Nelson local, Jackie is thrilled to be able to step into a role that allows her to be a part of her community. And drawing on 25 years of experience in Aged Care, it’s a profession that she truly has a passion for.

Jackie believes that great care means relaxed residents and families, and a team of staff that are engaged and happy. It’s that belief in the human side of care that drew Jackie to Green Gables.

“Our clinical care is excellent, but we believe in going beyond the standard medical model to cater to the holistic needs of our residents, so it’s all about the lifestyle - the beautiful environment, dining experience and adding all the extra touches. That, I believe, is what sets us apart.” she says.

To learn more about our Care Suites with Rest Home and Hospital level care, get in touch with Jackie today.
