TEAM STORIES

Hear from our people

The best way to understand Alden is to hear from the people who work here every day.

Aged care chose me, and I’m so glad it did. The support I’ve had from Alden to grow my clinical skills has been incredible. I went from caregiver to registered nurse with their support.

SP

Sione P.

Registered Nurse · Auckland

What keeps me here is the residents. Every single day I go home knowing I made a difference. The team at my facility feel like whānau.

AM

Aroha M.

Senior Caregiver · Tauranga

I moved from a hospital setting thinking it would be a step back. It was the opposite — aged care is complex, rewarding, and my leadership skills have grown enormously.
