Age Concern Horowhenua promotes the wellbeing, rights, respect and dignity for senior people
OUR SERVICES
We offer expert advice to our senior community
Elder Abuse & Neglect Prevention
There are many reasons why elder abuse occurs, and sadly why it is usually kept hidden. We believe all senior people should be safe and live without fear of being hurt. We work to improve the quality of life of older people in abusive situations and to prevent abuse by providing information, education programmes, advocacy and support.
Social Connection
Social connection means the social ties that we have with others. It can be a broad term that includes things like getting together with others, having others we can rely on for support, or feeling that we belong and are valued. We offer many services that benefit the social connections we can make with each other in our daily lives.
Health Promotion
Health Promotion increases or maintains functional capacity, maintaining or improving self-care, and stimulating one's social network. The goal of our Health Promotion Program is to improve and maintain a longer, independent and self-sufficient quality of life, so you can live dignified, flourishing and purposeful lives, to age well and remain well connected to friends, whanau and community.
