Jean Sandel Retirement Village

Would you trust a company who can’t even take good care of their own staff? Most of their staffs are underpaid and undervalued. Imagine working for years in a company and only get 80 cents increase. They didnt even acknowledge the inflation. How can the staff perform their job properly if they are always short staff due to people resigning because they are not happy with how the company treats them and their pay? Think about that before you trust your elderly to a company that does not give importance to their staff.

Very friendly Retirement Village,welcoming reception,and friendly helpful staff.

I WOULD HANG MY HEAD IN SHAME. ITS OUT IN THE OPEN THAT YOU HAVE SUCH A MENU AS YOU DO,ONCE AGAIN,OWNERS CUTTING CORNERS TO MAKE A PROFIT.WELL ITS NOW ON THE WEB FOR ALL TO READ....OH,AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DONT LIKE PARSNIPS.......YOU WILL NOW GET A REALLY BAD NAME OUT IN THE REAL WORLD,AND YOU DESERVE IT....ALL THESE OLDIES HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO ARE LOVELY MEALS....YOU DISGUST ME....;..AND YES,I HAVE PUT MY FULL NAME BEHIND THIS COMMENT.

Hi guys - I don't know if you would be interested but this absolutely makes my blood boil. My elderly grandmother who has just been discharged from hospital with a heart condition lives in Jean Sandel Rest home in Taranaki NZ. This is their main meals for the day 2 parsnips a half cooked sausage and 2 scoops of mashed spud. They get no alternative to what they get served. They pay $12 for their main meal $6 for their evening - which normally consists of a boiled egg. She stays in a serviced apartment where if you want to be showered it costs around $30 a time (home help does it for free)...to administer or supervise medication being taken another $6 per time. I think it needs to be published the amount of elderly people that are getting taken advantage of!! The price of a serviced apartment costs more than $200,000....and then there is all the hidden costs!! Its out right robbery in broad daylight!! When is enough enough!!! These places are marketed so well and look amazing yet it is all based on appearances!! The level of resident care is mediocre!!Natz Allen‎ Campbell

Clean, spacious and modern.

To the person concerned about her grandmother: You don't need a serviced apartment - order her in Eat Unlimited meals - costs the same as Rhyman's charge and MUCH better. The proof the the pudding ! is that I ordered these for my adult father (not in retirement village) and after a year he is THRIVING. Great food.

I have had a wonderful 10 yrs as a resident of this friendly and caring Village. I began my Village Life in a Service Apt and have always been happy with my choice. The staff are so helpful and kind and always go the extra mile. Life is Wonderful !!
