About Glenwood Home
At Glenwood we "Celebrate Life" and "Value People". We aim to provide a community at Glenwood, which provides a homely and comfortable quality of life and supports the dignity of people growing older.
The philosophy of the Glenwood community is to establish and maintain services of care and support, which includes meeting the resident’s spiritual and welfare needs. This shall be done without distinction of race, creed, nationality, or opinion.
It is the individual's choice and, where appropriate, the choice of their family, to select a Rest Home which provides a high standard of care in a safe, supportive environment where privacy and independence are safeguarded.
People who select Glenwood as their place of residence, find high standards of care, support, and respect, which is met through working together. This includes the Board, Management, all staff , and residents' whanau, working alongside medical advisers, for a better understanding of the ageing process and the associated limitations.
