St Andrew’s Village has achieved global award-winning excellence
We are so pleased to announce that St Andrew’s Village has achieved global award-winning excellence and secured three top honours at the prestigious 12th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards.
Often dubbed the “Oscars” of Aged Care, this international recognition cements our position as a leader in innovative senior living. The awards recognise excellence across various aspects of eldercare. St Andrew’s Village’s triple win highlights our dedication to resident well-being on multiple levels. We were awarded Operator of the Year – Residential Aged Care and Facility of the Year – Residential Aged Care, marking the first time a single site achieved both. “The awards reflect our people,” says CEO Andrew Joyce, and he feels it emphasises our commitment to “continually provide exceptional services in exceptional surroundings” and maintain strong resident-family connections.
St Andrew’s Village also secured the Facility of the Year – Ageing-In-Place award for our innovative approach to supporting independent living. The judges were impressed by our holistic approach to well-being and ongoing regeneration efforts that create a supportive and connected environment. Well done to all our incredible team village-wide who deserve a standing ovation for all their hard work and dedication that has now been recognised on the world stage.
About Us
Welcome to St Andrew's Village
In 1957, following the passing of Sir George Elliott a year earlier, a bequest was made from his estate for 50k (pounds sterling) to establish a charitable trust to help look after elderly people in the Eastern Bays community.
After several years of setting up the Trust and securing the land upon which we currently operate, the first buildings were opened in 1962. These comprised of a care facility and some rental cottages.
Early aged care options across New Zealand consisted of hospital style wards with multiple residents sharing an area with curtain screens between them. This type of provision slowly fell out of favour with the public and by the late 1990s St Andrew’s village embarked on a complete rebuild of the care centre.
In early 2000, the first stage of the new care centre was completed, with the remaining four stages following by May 2004. This gave St Andrew’s a full mix of Rest Home, Dementia and Hospital care provision, together with the establishment of a partnership with Dove Hospice to provide specialist palliative care on our site.
In 2005, the Trust also embarked on a development of a Retirement Village, and since that time an additional 164 villas, townhouses and apartments have been built, together with two large communal areas at the Irwin Miller Centre and the Terraces. The Terraces also now includes a full restaurant, bar, hair salon, wellness centre and state of the art cinema.
One of the fundamental goals at St Andrew’s has always been to provide a full continuum of care, where residents would have certainty that wherever their ageing and medical journey took them, that St Andrew’s would have the appropriate buildings, services and trained staff to look after them. As a charitable trust, this means that all funds are constantly reinvested back into the business to achieve that goal.
As we move forward into the future, the goal is also to connect with the wider community both by welcoming them into our communal spaces such as the restaurant or salon, but also to provide help and support as required. As part of that, we are looking to extend our respite care options and to also commence a day care provision, to help people in the local community who are caring for the partners to have a break as needed.
We look forward to welcoming you to St Andrew’s
