FAIRVIEW LIFESTYLE VILLAGE
We Are Family The surnames may not match but Rochelle McDonald, Alicia O’Flaherty and Newa Waqavakatoga consider themselves and residents of the Fairview neighbourhood as one, big family. And you can safely add happy to that! Rochelle, Alicia and Newa are the hardworking housekeeping team at Fairview Lifestyle Village and part of the reason why the village always looks so immaculate when we visit. There are plenty of options when it comes to retirement but Fairview stands out as a pretty attractive proposition. The luxurious villas and apartments are low-rise and the atmosphere always reminds us of the way neighbourhoods used to be. Time to chat, a sense of pride and a friendly face. The icing on the cake being brilliant facilities on site, and a team that includes these three wonderful women making life a whole lot easier for those lucky enough to live here. The health and wellbeing of its residents are central to the philosophy at Fairview and the housekeeping team subscribe wholeheartedly to that philosophy. Cleaning businesses have allowed them to work hours to fit in with their family responsibilities and raising children. Family is key here and they consider Fairview residents as extended family.
Team leader Rochelle says it’s more than just a job. “We care for and respect our residents, and we look out for them. Over the years, many have become good friends.”
Family is key here and they consider Fairview residents as extended family. Sales Manager Michelle Wainhouse says the housekeeping team provide invaluable support to the management and nursing team as the ‘eyes and ears” of the village. “They’re often the first to notice if something isn’t right or if someone is unwell and needs help.” “Oh yes,” says Newa. We work hard but we always make time for a chat and to share a story. We like the people here. They’re good people, interesting and always happy.” Family you could say. And a jolly nice one to be part of we say!
Keeping it clean at Fairview. Rochelle McDonald, Newa Waqavakato, Alicia O’Flaherty.
