A 35-Year Legacy of Love ❤️

In 1991, Jan started as a healthcare assistant at Kerikeri Retirement Village. She didn't just care for residents—she revolutionised how we think about aged care in New Zealand.

Jan pioneered our diversional therapy programme, led multiple departments, and at 85 years young, served as our village chaplain until her recent retirement. Her vision and compassion inspired the creation of the Robinson Chapel and transformed our care facilities.

35 years. Countless lives touched. One extraordinary woman.

To Jan and all our incredible aged care workers across Aotearoa—thank you for seeing the person, not just the patient. You are truly amazing. 💙

LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL SPIRITUAL SOMEONE
Kerikeri Retirement Village is looking for that special someone who can provide the services of a spiritual advisor to support our residents and their families.
This is a very part-time role, and we are looking for a person who understands the nature of the role and has the flexibility to be available on an ‘as needed’ basis. This includes holding services once a month, being available to our residents as needed and to support our families and staff.

We are on the lookout for someone who aligns with our values; compassionate caring | manaakitanga, family/whanau | whanaungatanga, guardianship | kaitiakitanga, continuous improvement | te whakapakari tonu, which drive us to enable the best possible life for those in our village and our community.

You’ll be an empathetic person and a good listener who has an understanding of the needs older people. Our village has a 66 bed aged care facility and our retirement village which has around 150 people living in it.

If you are interested, please contact us for us a job description: admin@kerikerivillage.co.nz

What a wonderful donation towards our Sensory Garden project! Thank you Simon, this is so appreciated by our entire team! 🌸💖

An area for our residents to spend time outdoors with family. A thoughtfully designed plan with widened footpaths, water features, raised flower beds, curved seating - it has been designed to be accessible for all.

Built by the community for the community.
All donors will be recognised throughout this garden space. If you would like to donate or help towards this project, please reach out to Adele on 09 407 0070

Three sales closed out in September, raised $1500 for the Kerikeri Retirement Village and their sensory garden project. It's so important that we have a non-profit retirement village in Kerikeri to provide affordable options for our retirees.
Very happy to be able to play a small part.
