The Oceania Group provides quality care to the elderly in residential care and retirement village settings.

Vision:

The vision of Oceania is to be the leaders in the business of providing quality care to the elderly in care.

Goals and Values:

Quality care delivered in Oceania facilities will enable residents in our care to live as well as possible to the end of their lives.

Best practice – The staff at Oceania will be alert to the changing needs of society and especially the elderly, by keeping up-to-date with, and contributing to the best practices and research in the care of the elderly.

Partnership – Oceania recognises the Treaty of Waitangi and Maori as the crown’s treaty partner. Oceania will work together with residents, their family/whanau and with other groups who support the elderly with disease and disability to promote and provide holistic care.

Advocacy – Oceania will advocate for recognition of the needs of the elderly because they are often unheeded on account of their age. We will lobby at local and national level for their needs to be promoted and effectively met.

Staff – Oceania undertakes to maintain and support an appropriately qualified and trained staff to deliver quality care to the residents.

Special Features
Our modern, purpose-built dementia unit caters for the needs of 11 residents. Each resident has their own beautifully appointed room, and all have views onto gardens. Because this is a secure unit, the facility has secure walkways through gardened and paved areas that lead the resident back into the facility. The unit itself is set up in a circular layout, so that there are no "dead ends" to confuse residents. With modern shower and bath facilities, an internal courtyard and sunny sitting areas, the dementia wing is an asset to Central Hawkes Bay.

At Woburn we try to help residents maintain their independence for as long as possible, especially if they are physically able to be directed in such activities as making their own bed, keeping their room tidy, or doing any small chores that they may want to do, such as helping to lay or clear the tables.

We have an active diversional therapy programme, and activities specifically designed for our demetia unit residents.

We encourage residents to join in the activities, such as crafts, music, reading and games, and will tailor activities to suit residents needs and abilities, just to involve them.
