Hospital Care
Hospital level care is provided for those residents who have a significant disability and medical concerns.
Respite Care
Short-term stays, or respite care services, are available to those who are unwell (eg, recovering from an illness or hospital stay) or who simply are in need of extra support.
Palliative Care
For those nearing the end of their lives, specialist medical services and clinical staff are available to meet ongoing comfort and care requirements.
Young Disabled Care
Young Physically Disabled (YPD) care is available in certain locations, for those under 65 who require assistance with self-care, mobility and/or communication.
John Wade
facility manager
As Facility Manager, I am passionate about providing a place of rest, enjoyment, and purpose for the residents at Potter Home. A proud ‘Irish’Kiwi’, I live in Ruakaka with my wife, and we have three (mostly) wonderful children.
I began my career in healthcare at 18 years old as a psychiatric nurse. Since then, I have moved into the management side, with experience in many different roles with private, community and government organisations
Here at Potter Home, myself and the team have a clear purpose. We work hard together to provide the best possible care for every one of our residents. I enjoy personally connecting with the residents and making sure they are happy with the standard of work and care we maintain
Outside work, I enjoy the occasional game of bowls, and regularly walk and swim at Ruakaka beach.
