We ensure our residents are free to be themselves, and have meaningful connections to the people, community, and activities they love. And with 34 communities, almost 3000 employees, and over 7500 residents, we’re on a mission to be New Zealand’s most loved retirement community.

For the people who work at Arvida, 'Life Your Way' means always looking for ways to improve residents’ lives and not being afraid to break free from historical, clinically-based, institution-style rules. It’s about putting people first and finding better ways to do things.

We put our heart and soul into the wellbeing of our residents; internally, we call this commitment the ‘Attitude of Living Well’. On a daily basis we bring this attitude to life through the five pillars of living well – eating, moving, resting, thinking and engaging well.

• Innovative, resident-focused, and purpose-led culture
• Support for Wellness Partners to achieve relevant Health & Wellbeing qualifications
• Comprehensive induction for Wellness Partners aligned to NZ Certificate (Level 2)
• RVA training with Te Ara InWhy join the team?stitute
• Unlimited ‘on demand’ access to over 100 high quality video training courses
• Indemnity Insurance, wellbeing days, loyalty bonus, APC reimbursement and professional development support for Nurses
• Supplier discounts and Annual Employee Survey – we ask, we listen, and we care

At Arvida, we create communities with freedom to thrive.

Each day, our interactions with our team, residents, and partners are guided by our three values:

• Being There – We listen, make connections, and provide support. 
• In it Together – We look out for each other, use our strengths and work as a team.
• Look for a Way – We think differently, do the right thing, and make it happen.  

Our values, together with our Attitude of Living Well approach to resident care, underpin everything we do.
