Mō mātou - About us –
Our name, Enliven, is a celebration of our beginnings, our heritage and the values we share. Our homes and villages are places where older people have companionship, choice, variety, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose. Being part of our team means the opportunity to share in our values-based approach and be part of a not-for-profit service specialising in the support of our elders.
At Kōwhainui Home we take every opportunity to make sure our Elders have companionship, spontaneity, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose in their lives. Residents are well connected with the local community and their whānau and friends are part of everyday life with us.
