Mission for Seniors

Our Mission for Seniors programme is a free home-visiting, support and advocacy service for elderly people living at home who have health and disability and/or social isolation issues in the Titahi Bay, Porirua, Wellington, Hutt Valley and surrounding suburbs.

This programme offers the following service for clients:

• A home-visiting service to provide support and regular checks to ensure seniors can remain safely at home alone and through changes in lifestyle.
• Advocacy to facilitate income support, health care and other social services.
• Companionship and a listening ear.
• Assistance to access health services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, doctor, dentist or outpatients.
• Resource Information including medical and smoke alarms, enduring power of attorney, disability and Work & Income forms.
• Transport and mobility assistance to get to appointments.
• Help to organise managing finances.
• Hospital visiting.
• Support for caregivers.
• Works collaboratively with others and does not duplicate existing social services.

The elderly we help are those who -

• Are finding it harder to remain in their home.
• Are isolated, lonely and have lost confidence.
• Have concerns regarding their home and finances.
• Feel unwell at times.
• Have trouble getting around and out and about.
