From Project Manager to Lockdown Legend

Meet Kai.

Kai is usually a Refurbishment Project Manager in Metlifecare’s support office, responsible for modernising and refurbishing resident’s homes in our Auckland villages. But since the lockdown, Kai has been staffing the gates at The Poynton, and the residents think he’s amazing!

“Residents are enjoying getting to know him (at a distance) and we have one in particular who loves heading down to the gate when Kai is on duty and has long chats with him. Kai has been amazing in helping her with ideas on how she can keep busy and at the same time remember her husband who she lost recently. Kai suggested she start a family tree and story for her grandchildren while all her memories are fresh.” – Village manager, Katie Worthy

We love hearing these stories of our lockdown legends and are so grateful to the many Metlifecare staff doing different roles to help out in our villages. Thanks for sharing, Katie.
