Meet The Oaks’ lovely new Care Manager

Oceania

Oceania has always believed in better and so does The Oaks’ new Care Manager, Desme Daniels.

We sat down and had a chat about our shared passion for making life great for others. “Working in aged care is so rewarding”, she begins, “Getting to know residents and their families, welcoming them to The Oaks and seeing the happy faces once they are settled in is just so lovely.”

She relishes in the daily transformations that take place across The Oaks Care Suites, “Witnessing people make new friends and participate in group activities - sometimes after living alone for sometime - it's wonderful to see.”

Oceania has always been about creating homes for people, not just bricks and mortar. As Desme explains, “Great care looks like home and family. Coming to The Oaks you get to be surrounded by staff who quickly become your friends, and whilst the clinical care is excellent, because we don’t look like a hospital or feel like a hospital or clinic, you sometimes don’t even realise how well cared for you are.”

We know you have options on where to live next, so, why The Oaks? Well, Desme said it best, “We want everyone to feel valued, heard and part of The Oaks family – whilst having fun and celebrating each new day. It’s light & airy, with spacious rooms, a convenient location, and surrounded by award-winning gardens. It feels like home and it looks like home. Visitors always comment on the lovely ‘feel of the place.’”

Poll: What should happen to the cathedral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In August, restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral was put on hold. Church leaders have no idea when work might restart.

Last year, the Government declined to provide further funding beyond $25 million, and the church, who had raised $24m in donations and contributed $49m including insurance, said further public support will be required to find the revenue required.

What do you think the next steps should be for the cathedral?
