Metlifecare Crestwood is located in West Auckland, nestled in native bush on the edge of Titirangi golf course.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our staff because they make a big difference to our residents. We look for staff with the right skills and relevant hands-on experience, but there is more to it than that. This job is about relationships and earning trust, so we handpick staff who care deeply about our residents. For them, treating people with dignity and respect comes naturally – it comes from the heart.

To ensure residents remain at the centre of what we do we embrace a philosophy of resident-directed care and here are just some examples:

• Aim to de-institutionalise our care home and have taken steps, such as removing showering schedules and letting residents decide when they would like to shower.
• Boredom and loneliness are incredibly negative forces, so we now have a range of spontaneous unscheduled events taking place to have fun and engage in meaningful activities that provide variety and build social bonds.
• For our residents the village is their home and we are very respectful of that fact.
• At Crestwood we have always welcomed pets and this approach is now being embraced by our care home. When you visit us meet our dog and birds.
• Inviting the community into Crestwood keeps the environment vibrant and relevant. We welcome local community groups, from schools and youth groups to cultural and musical groups.

Crestwood also offers villas and apartments for those enjoying independent living, as well as a full continuum of care with serviced apartments, rest home and residential hospital level care all on-site.
