About Tasman Dementia Care

We invite you to experience the very special character of Tasman Dementia Care. You will discover a team with exceptional qualities and a home with a unique atmosphere.

OUR VISION
To accept all people with kindness and love
To provide peace, comfort and joy
To be proactive, innovative and courageous
To enrich each person, the community and the world

OUR VALUES
We strive to achieve this vision by working with openness, honesty, integrity and passion

THE WORK WE DO
We establish trusting relationships based on respect and acceptance.
We encourage people’s participation in companionship-based care in their small homes.
We are privileged to accompany people as they journey towards the end of their life.
We welcome family/whānau and the wider community as integral to people’s lives.
We promote inclusion and the rights and values of each person.
We celebrate unity in diversity.

We specialise in person-centred care for people who live with dementia. This is the work we have passionately chosen to do. We care for people in small, cosy homes with a loving, warm and homely atmosphere where each person is supported to experience each moment richly. Our small homes concept means that people with dementia experience life in a less clinical and more normalised, familiar way. Small homes that inter connect, also bring a sense of ‘community’ for a person with dementia.

We offer 24 hour Registered Nurse coverage to all of our residents at Tasman.
