Staff
Residents of Holmdene enjoy living in a home and being cared for by a team of professionals who take their responsibilities seriously and have the greatest respect for the people living there.
In their own words, Holmdene is not their workplace, rather they work in the residents' home.
If you would like more information about Holmdene or would like to arrange a visit, please contact manager, Stephenie Leith, on 03 418 1468 or email stephenie.leith@psotago.org.nz.
