Selwyn Village Residential Care Selwyn Village Residential Care Selwyn Village Residential Care

Rest home and hospital care for when it is time. Moving from home into a village environment is a significant change for you and your family. We are here to help make this transition as smooth as possible. 

Visitors as usual (but not if you're unwell or recently returned from overseas)
Selwyn Village offers two care homes which provide age-related rest home- and hospital-level care (the Ivan Ward Centre and Sarah Selwyn); Ivan Ward also provides rest home-level dementia care.

When you first arrive at one of our care homes, we’ll discuss with you the results of the most recent NASC (needs assessment service co-ordination) assessment you have had in the community. We’ll ask you further questions about your health, wellbeing, preferences and independence needs so together we can agree your care plan. We’ll regularly review your care plan with you. We call this a partnership model of care, meaning you and your family/whānau are encouraged to be actively involved in your care and wellbeing.

At our care homes, we aim to optimise your wellbeing by providing opportunities to engage in what is important to you and so you feel part of a supportive, caring community. Throughout your residency, you, your family/whānau and friends will have access to Selwyn Village's wide range of amenities. Your family/whānau are encouraged to be involved and participate in all aspects of your life at Selwyn, with friends and loved ones able to visit at any time and on any day.

IVAN WARD CENTRE

Opened in 2018, the purpose-built Ivan Ward Centre provides care for a total of 90 residents: age-related hospital- and rest home-level care, rest home-level dementia care, and short-term respite and interim care. The interior layout and accessibility features promote residents’ independence and encourage a sense of belonging, with six ‘households’ of twelve residents within the Centre’s larger care community (the dementia care household is slightly larger). Each household has been designed to feel like a home: residents have their own private room with ensuite and share a spacious lounge with open-plan dining and kitchen area leading to a large outdoor deck and seating. When residents’ whānau and friends come to visit, they’re also able to use the household kitchen and even stay overnight in the den/whānau room.

SARAH SELWYN

This modern purpose-built care home offers age-related hospital-level care and short-term respite and interim care for a total of 81 residents. Every resident has their own comfortable room, each with its own heating and the majority having an ensuite (various room types are available). With its large picture windows, Sarah Selwyn looks onto landscaped surroundings and has a number of cosy lounges and sheltered areas allowing residents and families to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Visiting family members and friends are welcome at any time and have access to tea- and coffee-making facilities in the ‘Quiet Room’ situated at the back of the communal dining room.

SERVICES AND FACILITIES

Both our age-related hospital-level care homes are staffed with registered nurses 24/7, who are assisted by caregivers and other professional staff. All staff have ongoing training on health and safety issues and the particular needs of current residents. Doctors routinely visit and there’s 24/7 medical coverage. All meals are prepared and cooked on site, with a qualified dietitian overseeing the menu and catering for special diets.

ACTIVITIES

Residents can participate in an extensive range of activities specially tailored for older adults. Each care home has its own diversional therapy team who design and deliver a regular programme to optimise residents’ participation and enjoyment in meaningful and entertaining activities inclusive of themed events. Residents can enjoy minibus outings and there’s a ‘happy hour’ each week. The village chaplain visits regularly and is available for pastoral care and support; worship services are held weekly.

SELWYN VILLAGE

Selwyn Village is a 26-acre retirement jewel sitting on Auckland’s sparkling Waitematā Harbour. Located in Point Chevalier, the village provides rest home-level, age-related hospital-level and rest home-level dementia care across three care homes as well as a wide range of stylish independent retirement living options within an attractive and peaceful setting. A palm-lined avenue, park-like grounds and well-tended flowerbeds complement the garden environment, and coastal walks lead to a sheltered swimming beach. Selwyn Village is one of New Zealand’s first retirement villages and remains a popular choice for older people looking for quality environments within a supportive and caring community.

THE SELWYN FOUNDATION

Selwyn Village is owned and managed by The Selwyn Foundation, an independent, faith-based New Zealand registered charity providing services to older people and their families. The Foundation has been leading the way in improving the quality of life of seniors since 1954. As pioneers of the retirement village model and of residential aged care in this country, we are uniquely experienced in providing care, independent retirement living and community outreach services for older adults.

Our Vision is Oranga Mātua | Oranga Tangata, Respectful Ageing for all, within communities that thrive. As a result of the ageing of New Zealand's population and the growing numbers of seniors who are vulnerable or in need, our work is more important than ever. With our Social Impact and Mission strategy as our foremost objective, the Foundation is focused on enabling support and outreach where there is hardship amongst seniors who live in the wider community – whether that be loneliness and social isolation, material/financial/emotional- or housing-related.
