Too often they’re required to fit into a pattern of living that dictates what they do and when they do it, irrespective of preferences and personalities. We’re making it possible for older people to live by their own rules, to be free to be themselves and have meaningful connections to the people, community and activities they love. We call this ‘living a life with soul’. Natter Café at Arvida Good Friends at Park Lane Living Well Centre, Christchurch. 4 5 Arvida at a Glance We were formed in 2014 when we listed on the New Zealand stock exchange with 18 retirement villages. Since then, we have grown to become a group spread across 33 locations nationally, with our newest greenfield development launched during the year in Kerikeri. Arvida now offers retirement living accommodation and aged care services to over 4,950 residents. We are one of the largest providers of aged care services in New Zealand. Our mission, which guides us in what we do and why, is to improve the lives of New Zealanders by transforming the ageing experience. We are doing this by breaking free from institutional models to put our residents’ quality of life at the centre of everything we do. Our purpose is to enable a more fulfilling life as people age. Everyday over 2,600 team members strive to improve the lives and wellbeing of our residents, making it possible for older people to live by their own rules. Our way of working ensures they’re free to be themselves, have meaningful connections to the things they know and love – and live a life with soul. With this vision, we are reimagining how communities will age and setting strategy accordingly. Our focus is on the resident – we are resident-led in our outcomes.
