Meet John, our new Care Manager

Oceania

For Oceania, it’s not just about building bricks and mortar. It’s about building a sense of community.

St Johns Wood’s new Care Manager, John McNaughton, agrees. “My goal is to deliver an experience at the highest-level. To not only meet the residents’ requirements, but to exceed them - to be offering the care we would want if it were us.”

For John, the stunning Taupǒ location is a bonus. “Taupǒ has always held a special connection for me. It’s where I was born and raised, and it’s fantastic to be able to return.”

When asked what his vision is for St Johns Wood, John leaves no doubt that every resident is in safe hands. “It’s about exclusively tailoring for the needs of each resident, being respectful, and putting the resident at the forefront of all we do. Having the right team with the right attitude and providing them the tools to be able to do their jobs well and create happy residents who feel appreciated.”

To learn more about our new Care Suites that offer both Rest Home and Hospital level care coming this winter, chat to John on 0800 333 688

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
