Special thanks to our Sponsors.
Note: Aged Advisor winners are based on independent reviews and opinions from people that live, visit or work at the retirement/lifestyle villages and residential care facilities throughout New Zealand. The team at Aged Advisor are thrilled to celebrate the exceptional organisations who offer independent living options or care for our older generation, and are proud to award them with the recognition they deserve. Entry is now open for the 2016 Awards and we look forward to announcing the winners later in the year. So make sure to get those reviews in.
South Island Award Presentations…
With our Aged Advisor head office based in Christchurch, we quietly presented the South Island Awards to the three Canterbury based facilities late last week (one even had their welcoming committee ready to greet us!). Although they were all told that this was “secret squirrel” until this week – we have a hunch one or two couldn’t help it, and proudly shared their great news!
