Christchurch Earthquake Response
Although based in Wellington, Wesley Community Action is already contributing to the National Disaster relief for the Christchurch Earthquake, and is currently providing respite accommodation for six elderly Christchurch residents at Wesleyhaven Village, Naenae.
Principles:
* WCA will focus organisation support in areas where it has expertise
* WCA will Link into existing coordination initiatives
* WCA will not duplicate other initiatives that are well positioned to respond
* Most likely value of WCA’s expertise will be in the second phase (3 – 6 months +)
Wesleyhaven Honoured
Wesleyhaven has been honoured as winner of the Telecom Community Connections Award and also joint winner of the INsite Overall Excellence in Aged Care Award announced by Health Care Providers NZ at its September 2009 conference.
The ‘Overall Excellence’ award means that Wesleyhaven has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to achieving excellence in aged care, and the Telecom Community Connections Award recognises exceptional effort in catering for residents needs and preferences by creating an environment which promotes inclusion and choice for older New Zealanders. This also includes the creation of a feeling of community within a facility, or the outreach of a facility to the surrounding community, to connect residents with their families and friends. Congratulations to the team at Wesleyhaven!
