Mō mātou - About us
Together, we make a lasting difference.
When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years.
Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.
Our name, Enliven, is a celebration of our beginnings, our heritage and the values we share. Our homes and villages are places where older people have companionship, choice, variety, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose. Being part of our team means the opportunity to share in our values-based approach and be part of a not-for-profit service specialising in the support of our elders.
Conveniently located in central Karori, the modern and stylish Huntleigh Home overlooks a sunny central courtyard and residents enjoy the easy indoor-outdoor living. A highlight for many residents and visitors is the fabulous shop and café. Known as the Trading Post, the shop is run by residents and volunteers. You’ll often find avid conversations happening in the café. It’s a great place for an ice-cream in summer too. The Trading Post is not the only place where residents call the shots. At Huntleigh Home residents also have plenty of input and direction when it comes to the recreation programme, visiting entertainers, the menu… the residents of Huntleigh Home even designed and had their very own flag made!
