"The following is something that we often say. We are eternally grateful for your support and encouragement, for the challenging questions you asked us for the guidance and direction. For the wisdom and advice. For your generosity. We would never have made it. We are not big and flash but we made it and our care is amazing."
Thérèse Jeffs | Chief Executive, The CARE Village (New Zealand)
How we supported
Chief Executive Thérèse Jeffs’ research led her to The Hogeweyk® and Be Advice. Inspired by The Hogeweyk® Care Concept, Whare Aroha asked Be Advice to support the development of a similar facility in New Zealand, adapted to New Zealand culture. We trained the team in The Hogeweyk® Care Concept, forming the basis for the development of ‘The Care Village’ and making Whare Aroha free to use the line, “Inspired by The Hogeweyk®.” We worked with a dedicated team and served as a sounding board during the design process. We influenced stakeholders and policy makers, resulting in realisation of The Care Village.
"The CARE Village team have been inspired by The Hogeweyk and created a NZ interpretation of the lifestyle, social relational model of care. We are eternally grateful to the founders, Jannette Spiering and Yvonne van Amerongen of The Hogeweyk for the encouragement, support and the sharing of knowledge that they so willing gave us. They were always available, their enthusiasm reassuring. They helped us plan and navigate around the many decisions and challenges along our incredible journey to success. The village model is the right thing to do. The CARE Village team thank you Jannette, Yvonne and The Hogeweyk."
