Testimonials
| One of our residents families who live overseas came to New Zealand to visit their relative, they commented on the excellent loving care that their relative receives. "The staff and residents are so close, it is lovely to see the genuine interaction and fun" - residents relative "I feel like I have walked into a home" - residents relative "They are one of the best, they are unique and different" - independent staff trainer "I am happy that my brother still has an independent lifestyle with assistance for his needs as he is a young resident. My brother enjoys going out for lunch at Sky City, dinners at Doolan Brothers, a recent trip to Waiheki Island and his weekly shopping trips with the staff. My brother is always telling me how good the food is" - resident's sister "Even though my husband passed away several years ago I still feel like part of the Anne Maree Gardens family, I am still invited to the monthly support group meetings, Christmas parties and other trips" - family member "It is a piece of mind knowing that my husband is receiving excellent loving care and 'open communication' with our family, especially relating to medication changes or any incidents" - resident's wife |

Special Features
| You know there have been some changes at the rest home in Coronet Place, Avondale when you turn into the street for there at the end of the road is a large sign showing the AnneMaree Group logo of the bright yellow sunflower. It is an indicator of the philosophy of the AnneMaree group that stresses the importance of fun and laughter and the belief that everyone has potential. Sheryl Samuel took over the ownership of the home in late 2003 and since then has been restoring, renovating and making many changes. A number of the residents at AnneMaree Gardens require a secure environment so the gates are locked but please do come in as you will receive a very warm welcome. The large old home is located on a three acre section. The layout of the house and grounds provides an ideal environment for residents. As some of the residents wander they can do so safely here without feeling too enclosed. The interior is designed so that the resident is provided with a circular hallway from which there are many exits to the outside. The gardens are divided up into different areas and are spacious so people can walk freely. We use alternative remedies such as oils and massage therapy which we find particularly helpful for relaxing our residents. |
