About our Henderson Home Community
Henderson Home is more than a care facility; it is a community built on the belief that everyone deserves a place where they truly belong. Our mission in Canterbury is to provide specialised support for individuals with intellectual disabilities, focusing on quality care that makes a tangible difference to their daily lives.

Expert care with a personal touch
Our approach is centred on the person—supporting each resident to maximise their independence while being safe and fully included in the community.
A home, not a facility
We avoid clinical environments in favour of family-like settings where everyone belongs. We pride ourselves on being a "Home for Life," where transitions are handled with care and dignity.
Our living environments
We offer safe, and inclusive spaces for our residents to support their needs.
The people who care
Our team brings experience, compassion and genuine commitment to every day

I am passionate about making a real difference in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. Supporting people to feel safe, valued, and empowered every day is at the heart of everything I do.I have a strong focus on building positive relationships with the people we support, their families, and our team. I believe that everyone deserves to live a life filled with dignity, choice, and opportunity, and I work hard to create an environment where this can happen. Leading with empathy, respect, and a hands-on approach, I am committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care and supporting our team to do the same.

I’ve been part of the Henderson Home family for 27 years, and in my role as Operations and Administration Manager, I’m passionate about creating a well-organised, positive environment for both the dedicated staff and the people we support. I take pride in being hands on and proactive in everything I do in my role, always ready to step in, problem-solve, and ensure everything runs smoothly. I enjoy being involved in the day-to-day running of things, supporting both our amazing team of Support Workers and the people we care for.

I’m a Clinical Coordinator and Nurse, supporting the health and wellbeing of people with intellectual disabilities. In my role, I oversee day-to-day clinical care and work closely with staff to make sure our residents are safe, supported, and receiving care that’s tailored to them.I really value building strong relationships with both our team and families, and I take pride in mentoring staff and helping them grow in confidence and skill. For me, it’s all about making sure the people we support feel respected, understood, and able to live well every day.
