188 Business View Oceania - September/October 2016 The Beginning Back in the 1950s, New Zealand, along most of the world, was discover- ing an increasing need to take a seri- ous look at aged care and how to pro- vide for elderly citizens. The community of Christchurch was no different, of course. In the late 50’s, Ernest Ad- ams, a notable Christchurch business- man donated land to WINDSORCARE for the purposes of building an aged care facility that would service the lo- cal population. Slowly but steadily, that community was continuously built and now there are 49 independent cottag- es in conjunction with the main facili- ty which houses 80 residents at hospi- tal and rest home level care and within a Specialised Care Unit for residents with dementia.
