St Andrew's Village

St Andrew’s Village located on Riddell Road in Glendowie Auckland is owned and operated by a charitable trust. It provides a full continuum of care, including rest home care, hospital care, dementia care, respite care, and day care.

All accommodation is thoughtfully designed and there are options to suit individual needs. Care rooms are comfortable and have space for a single bed and a small item of furniture, such as a recliner chair. Care suites are spacious and have the look and feel of a one-bedroom apartment. There are also three separate memory care units which offer rooms for specialised dementia care, as well as The Dove Wing with rooms for specialised palliative care.

Care Centre
Life at St Andrew’s is respectful and inclusive. There are several activities on offer each week, from Tai Chi classes to gardening, arts and crafts, and movie screenings. There are also lovely communal spaces, including lounges and dining areas, a comprehensive wellness centre, and a state-of-the-art hair salon. Staff are friendly, approachable, and committed to providing person-centred care that takes into account each resident’s unique needs and preferences.

Residents share communal living spaces where participation and stimulation is encouraged in the form of daily outings and activities.
Our trained staff promote independence as long as possible. Varying levels of care are available to residents as their care requirements evolve over time.
The Care Centre is well resourced and residents have access to our physiotherapy department.
Our highly trained, long-standing staff members build relationships with residents and their families. We also pride ourselves on comprehensive consultations with families so they feel informed and involved.
Our pastoral care team visit residents regularly on request and multi-denominational church services are provided at our chapel, when covid restrictions allow.

Memory Care
St Andrew’s Village has provided specialised care to residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s for over 20 years.
Our three separate memory care units, Henry Campbell, Stirling and Braemar are specifically designed to meet the special needs of those with dementia.
Recent refurbishment of Henry Campbell now provide distinct reminiscent areas and different colour schemes to assist with resident orientation.
The three memory care units all have external gardens for the residents to enjoy, plus open plan dining room and lounge areas allowing for activities and entertainment such as music therapy.
Residents enjoy bus trips and visits to places of interest. Trained in dementia care, staff working across our three memory care units value ‘their’ residents who are treated with dignity and respect.
Our philosophy of care promotes a “home from home” environment where residents can get involved in daily living activities such as making breakfast, helping in the kitchen and feeding pets.

Respite Care
Respite allows caregivers to take a break or holiday. Usually, it is short term for approximately 1-2 weeks.
Respite care is also available to those in need of care after hospital treatment before returning to their communities or the retirement village.

Palliative
Palliative care is available to all residents of the Care Centre as the need arises and is personally planned to meet the needs of the residents and their families.We have a pastoral care team who visit on a regular basis and can be contacted at times of need. Three dedicated palliative care beds are also available at Dove Wing. These beds are managed in conjunction with Dove Hospice.
