Pōneke House
Key message image

I’m the second eldest of six siblings, of Samoan descent, and was born and raised in Wellington. My journey here began with a BA in Education, but my path to aged care started unexpectedly when visiting a relative at Pōneke House. Since then, I’ve found my vocation in helping others, ensuring they have what they need, and making a difference in their lives.

I started as a casual caregiver and have developed valuable skills that have allowed me to build strong relationships with people from all walks of life. Our door is always open at Poneke House, we look forward to meet with our future residents and their families.

Brochure
"They cared for my father in the final years of his life and he was treated with dignity and respect by the caring staff. I really appreciate that on the day of his passing they lit a candle for him and were compassionate people towards us. Several of the staff became trusted carers in his final years. If anyone is looking for a care home for an elder family member where they will treat them well, this is that place."
