Our Vision
To create a loving, warm and homely atmosphere where each person is supported to experience each moment richly.
Our Values
We strive to achieve this vision by promoting:
- The uniqueness of each person
- The immense value of each person
- Openness, honesty and integrity
In these ways we enrich each person, the community and the world.
Our Staff
Our team cares for and connects with each person who lives at Tasman as we would a very best friend. This means that people feel loved and important.
We:
- accept you as you are
- really listen to you
- love to hear you laugh
- forgive your mistakes
- have fun together
Our team has been hand-picked with great care. We have the knack of working with the aged and people with dementia. We know how to love and care for someone as if that person is our very best friend.
We believe that the people who make up our Tasman team need to be nurtured too. Tasman offers a service where all team members can see the doctor free of charge. Workplace Support is given by Chaplaincy Services. This means the people who make up our team are assisted to be completely available to the people they care for.
Andrew Sheard – Operations Manager
As Operations Manager of Tasman Rest Home, it is my responsibility to ensure the smooth day to day running of the facility. A solid management background stands me in good stead with the practical aspects of my job, while my passion for people and sense of humour give my work an important extra dimension.
I am often found out in the Home, interacting with residents and staff, helping them where necessary, and joining in their daily activities.
I have great pleasure in leading the team at Tasman. It is so rewarding to see the residents, families and the staff team happy. Being able to make a difference in people’s lives is of high importance to me.
