Mō mātou - About Us
When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years.
Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.
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.
Most days, when you walk through the doors of Brightwater Home you’ll find a hive of activity. The elders of this well known rest home tell us they enjoy the fantastic social and activities calendar, the companionship and friendly banter and the sense of belonging that comes with this tight-knit community. Situated in Terrace End in Palmerston North, Brightwater Home is set on attractive grounds with gardens, courtyards and beautiful established trees.
Together, we make a lasting difference.
