Being the first in the world outside of the Netherlands to implement the vision of De Hogeweyk has captured the attention of the media and people are following The CARE Village with interest. Kay Shannon of AUT’s Centre for Active Ageing is leading a study on how residents transition to our unique model of care with results expected early 2020.
Any new media enquiries can be directed to Chief Executive, Thérèse Jeffs. NB to protect the privacy of our residents, residents cannot be recognisable in any photography or videography.
