1SELWYN VILLAGE

Selwyn VillageFrom every angle, choosing independent retirement living at Selwyn Village makes perfect sense. You forgo the worries of security and home maintenance, so you have more time to enjoy life. There’s the unique natural setting of the village, the wealth of amenities and the new friends to share them with. Add to these the peace of mind knowing there’s on-site residential care, should the need eventuate, and the knowledge you’ll always have the enduring Christian commitment of The Selwyn Foundation behind you.

Live life at your own paceWith many of your everyday tasks such as gardening and exterior maintenance taken care of, you’ll have time to indulge in

an active, relaxed lifestyle and to make the most of the wide range of leisure facilities close at hand. You may wish to join in the activities on site and play a full part in village life, socialising in a friendly community of like-minded people. There will be plenty to keep you busy, with outings and entertainment also arranged for your enjoyment.

Or you can relax and take things easy, living privately and independently in your own home – secure in the knowledge that everything’s available on your doorstep, as and when you require. Of course, your family and friends will always be welcome to visit.

At Selwyn Village, you have the choice of an active lifestyle or a quiet life, companionship or privacy, with everything provided for you within a safe, secure and supportive environment.

Welcome

Prime waterfront living in Auckland

Selwyn Village is a 26 acre retirement jewel sitting on Auckland’s sparkling Waitemata Harbour. Located in desirable Point Chevalier, Selwyn Village provides a fantastic lifestyle in a historic setting. Close to the central city, but away from busy roads, the village offers maximum sun and privacy with magnificent harbour views.

The Selwyn Village land was purchased in the early 1950s when it was a market-garden. It was developed into one of the first retirement villages in New Zealand. Gardens planted then are now mature and extend to the water’s edge. A palm-lined avenue, park-like grounds, well-tended flowerbeds and pretty shrubs complement the garden environment, and coastal walks lead to a sheltered swimming beach.

A New Zealand-owned independent charitable trust providing services to older people and their families, The Selwyn Foundation has been leading the way in improving the quality of life of our elders for over sixty years. As pioneers of the retirement village model and of rest home care in this country, we are uniquely experienced in providing residential care, independent retirement living and community outreach services for older adults.

With the dramatic rise of New Zealand's ageing population, the work of The Selwyn Foundation is more important than ever. Building on our achievements to date — and in keeping with our original Mission to provide quality care for elders — we will continue to innovate, diversify and offer a continuum of flexible care options that meet the present and future needs of ageing people and their families.

CharityEnhancing the lives of elders who are vulnerable or in need. Promoting the welfare of elders in general is an important aspect of the Foundation’s charitable Mission. We therefore distribute up to 30% of our annual operating surplus to charitable and not-for-profit groups working with or for the elderly at both community and national level. This is in addition to funding our community outreach Selwyn Centre programme, our subsidised rental accommodation and village medical centres.

Looking to the future, our charitable focus will be to deliver on our mission in combating social isolation and loneliness, increase social housing and address the cost of healthy living.

LearningInvesting in research and education to deliver quality care.The Selwyn Foundation supports a wide range of gerontology research. In addition to assisting universities with studies that influence the wellbeing of elders, we also fund The Selwyn Centre for Ageing and Spirituality and are the principal benefactor of The HOPE Foundation. By investing in quality learning and research opportunities, we aim to enhance the wellbeing of our residents, and of New Zealand’s ageing population as a whole.

The Selwyn Foundation is committed to opening up growth and skill opportunities that help our staff, their families and our residents.

CommunityProviding care and support to elders in their community. Selwyn’s community outreach is most evident in the Selwyn Centres. With over 40 venues provided in association with Anglican parishes and serving more than 800 people each week, the programme provides community drop-in centres that enable those who may be living alone and in need of companionship to remain active, healthy and independent in their own neighbourhoods.

VillagesCreating thriving communities to age well. The Selwyn Foundation seeks to create positive environments that promote residents’ independence, eliminate loneliness and add variety to the daily experience. We aim to create open, engaging communities where people have purpose, enjoy choice, and an active lifestyle with family and friends.

By developing contemporary new environments and modernised styles of care, we’ll take forward into the future the vision our founders began over sixty years ago.

In keeping with our Mission: To deliver quality services that are responsive to the ageing person and their family, ensuring that our charitable outreach supports those who are vulnerable or in need.

Our activities are focussed around four key areas:

8 SELWYN VILLAGE

The Selwyn WayThe Selwyn Way

To care for older people, you have to care about them

FaithThe understanding and affirmation of the meaning of the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Care The way we show God’s love in action.

Independence How we support individuals to enable them to make choices about their life.

Diversity Selwyn is a place for everybody.

Wellness The ability of each person to live fully within their capabilities.

“ The Selwyn Way, with its focus on ageing well through the concepts of care, independence, wellness and diversity – underpinned by faith – informs every aspect of the work of The Selwyn Foundation. Whatever the task – whether it be in caregiving, developing new buildings, finance or caring for guests in a Selwyn Centre – our work is animated by the elements of The Selwyn Way. It means we are not just doing a job but, rather, endeavouring to enrich the lives of each person who comes in contact with us.”
