MONDAY 21 MARCH - Tour Finale with Selwyn

My three week study tour of Australia and New Zealand concluded today with my last visit. I met up with Duncan McDonald early and we set off to visit the Selwyn Aged Care village at Pt Chevalier. Set beside the sea at the western edge of the city this is the largest site operated by Selwyn in the Auckland Area.

As one of the country's largest, not-for-profit providers of services to the older generation, The Selwyn Foundation is uniquely experienced in occupation right agreements, rest home, hospital and dementia care services across nine villages in the upper North Island. With a strong Anglican tradition the Foundation has served older people of New Zealand for more than fifty years. An originator of retirement villages and rest home care in the country, it remains New Zealand-owned and operated.


We did not have a lot of time as I had to head for the airport but I much appreciated the guided tour of this large and complex site with Duncan....


...... And a chance to meet and discuss New Zealand Aged Care with members of the Selwyn senior team. We then headed off to visit Selwyn Heights, a major redevelopment site that the Company has recently acquired and which is a part of their major expansion programme aimed at meeting the growing demand for aged care services throughout the upper North Island.


Then it was off to the airport to return my rental car and in time to catch my flight to Los Angeles.
