We’re looking for family home caregivers

Oranga Tamariki

Our family homes provide safe environments until children can be reconnected to the family.

Your aroha could make all the difference.

Family home caregiving involves two adult caregivers who care for up to six children or young people in a home environment. The home is owned by Oranga Tamariki, and children move in and out of the home depending on what’s happening for them.

It is not a paid, full-time job for the caregivers but some financial support is provided (including living costs).

Respite care when you need it

Kiri Te Kanawa Retirement Village

From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.

If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.

Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.

If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.
