🌸 Meet The Team Tuesday 🌸

Kia ora!
My name is Mackenzie Halbert and I am the Operations Manager at Wyndham Rest Home. I have had the privilege of being in this role for the past nine months.

I was born in Napier, Hawke’s Bay and moved to Dunedin in 2017 to study at the University of Otago. These days I live in Gore with my family and have really enjoyed being a part of the close-knit Wyndham Community.

In my free time you will find me reading, spending time with my family and going along to speedway.

If you see me around the rest home or the community, please feel free to say hello and kōrero with me!

🌸Meet the Team Tuesday🌸

This week, we wanted to get everyone more familiar with the backbone of our team, the home itself.

Wyndham Rest Home is a 23 bed home located in one of the many beautiful areas of rural Southland.

Our team are passionate and committed to delivering high quality care that we would want for our own whānau. We also have large gardens that we are planting nutritious vegetables and beautiful flowers in to help create that vision of home.

At Wyndham Rest Home, we offer long and short term care, respite and day stays.

If you ever want to have a look around or are thinking about the care of a loved one, pop in and see one of our friendly staff.

Love to see our gardens blossoming! We finally had a sunflower bloom, and our tomato plants are bearing scrumptious food for our residents

We continue to expand our vege patch to encourage our residents and embody our garden-to-table attitude 🍅

🌸 Meet The Team Tuesday 🌸

Each Tuesday we are going to be introducing our team members to you!

For our first Meet The Team Tuesday, we would like to introduce the newest member of our whānau Buddy.

Buddy has been with us for just over two weeks and is a purrfect addition to the team 🐈‍⬛ His hobbies include climbing up the legs of anyone nearby, bird watching, and ensuring the home has plenty of cat-itude 🐱
