We offer expert advice to our senior community
Our team are able to respond to enquiries on a number of subjects, and can offer expert information, advocacy, advice and referral to other organisations. We maintain strong connections with other social service providers to ensure we are aware of issues our seniors are facing and the steps being taken to deal with issues.
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 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 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.
Our commitment to the senior adults in the Horowhenua can't be beat! Providing quality support services and expert information to our senior community are always at the forefront of our ethics, which are combined with our unique skill sets and a fresh approach that will continue to support the growth and quality of our services provided to the community.
