A better way to care
The Hawthorndale Care Village is a not-for-profit aged care facility for Southland and Otago, based on a Dutch dementia village model – De Hogeweyk. It fully replicates everyday life in a suburban neighbourhood within a safe, secure setting. They have the freedom to do what they like – within reason – retaining a sense of purpose and dignity.
We want to change how we care for older New Zealanders, particularly those living with dementia. Together as a community, we must set the bar higher. We have an opportunity to redefine aged care in New Zealand. Be part of a legacy.
