Oceania has always believed in better and so does Meadowbank’s new Care Manager, Suzette Vorster.

Having worked in Aged Care for several years, Suzette’s favourite thing about her work has remained the same – giving back to those who’ve done so much for Aotearoa.

“Our residents have a lifetime of knowledge and have worked hard in often difficult times. I see it as such a privilege to be in a position to lead a team of people who are passionate about caring for them.”

Suzette’s recipe for great care is simple. “Great care means meeting a resident’s daily needs with empathy and warmth – to deliver the kind of care that anyone would want their Mum or Dad to have.”

She’s excited to take on a new challenge in our vibrant village beside Orakei Basin. “Meadowbank is a beautiful site– it’s a place anyone would feel proud to live in and a place families enjoy visiting.

Our Care Suites provide a feeling of independence within the comfort and security of exceptional 24/7, round-the-clock care.” And her vision for Meadowbank goes beyond brick and mortar.

“The heart of it is the people – staff who provide empathy and love, and residents who live their years to the fullest.”

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

Hello Neighbours!
I have attached a link to a creative art project I started for our communities to partake in for free. There is a Facebook link on Facebook, but you can read about it on the link attached too.

Even if you can not participate in person, you can share your before, during, and after pics, of your project.

I attached some photos of a piece of art I did more than 10 years ago. It was mediocre.. so I added to it and it became a wow. It is now turned into a Jigsaw Puzzle which I am telling on Amazon in the USA and I have the image on Scarves/ Sarong and cushion cover.

Let's make Winter fun as a community!
