Oceania has always believed in better and so does Meadowbank’s new Care Manager, Suzette Vorster.

Having worked in Aged Care for several years, Suzette’s favourite thing about her work has remained the same – giving back to those who’ve done so much for Aotearoa.

“Our residents have a lifetime of knowledge and have worked hard in often difficult times. I see it as such a privilege to be in a position to lead a team of people who are passionate about caring for them.”

Suzette’s recipe for great care is simple. “Great care means meeting a resident’s daily needs with empathy and warmth – to deliver the kind of care that anyone would want their Mum or Dad to have.”

She’s excited to take on a new challenge in our vibrant village beside Orakei Basin. “Meadowbank is a beautiful site– it’s a place anyone would feel proud to live in and a place families enjoy visiting.

Our Care Suites provide a feeling of independence within the comfort and security of exceptional 24/7, round-the-clock care.” And her vision for Meadowbank goes beyond brick and mortar.

“The heart of it is the people – staff who provide empathy and love, and residents who live their years to the fullest.”

To learn more about our Care Suites with Rest Home and Hospital level care, get in touch with Suzette today.

Being a Liverpudlian, Davey Joe South comes from one of the world’s great music capitals and we’re looking forward to hearing his story on The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, tomorrow June 5, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
David South is one of the Fab Four acts along with Burn The Bridges, Marianne Leigh and Zoe Scott on the excellent line-up of performers for Live Out East – Concert 2 – a fundraising event in aid of Auckland City Mission, at Uxbridge Theatre at Uxbridge Arts and Culture, Howick, on Friday, June 18.
We’ll be talking with Davey Joe South from 4pm on She’ll Be Right. Before coming to NZ, he was an active member of the Liverpool scene – his band Cardello sharing the Bandwagon stage with the likes of The Coral, The Zutons, The Libertines, and The Stands.
He co-wrote modern musical Home with Zutons’ original guitarist, Boyan Chowdhury. He continues to write prolifically and looks toward his first Kiwi EP in late 2021.
Auckland four-piece (with keys) Burn the Bridges play earthly, rhythmically-driven songs in the country-rock-blues-roots domain, and have a superb new EP out at www.burnthebridges.co.nz.... Home has four tracks free to play. It’s worth the journey.
Marianne Leigh, at 18, has already turned ears, winning Smokefree Rockquest and Play It Strange music competition prizes for songwriting and performance. She’s been mentored by Bic Runga, and more recently Jamie McDell, for show Uke Can Do It, on TVNZ on Demand.
There’s an easily accessible link to recordings of artists for this year’s Live Out East series here:

Live Out East – Concert 2 – on Friday, June 18, plays out in our historic treasured Uxbridge Theatre, at Uxbridge Arts and Culture, in Howick (www.uxbridge.org.nz). For tickets, go to:
