Depending on your needs, we may be able to connect you with:

• home support services — these can help with personal care (such as showering and dressing) and household management (such as cleaning, laundry and meal preparation)
• respite — allowing regular carers to take a break from their caring role
• supported living services — tailored support to help develop independence while living in the community
• residential support services — 24-hour care while living in the community
• behaviour support — specialists who support carers to help understand the reasons for the behaviour, and develop support strategies to support change.

These services can be supplied by:

• a contracted provider
• someone you know.

Our staff are experienced in supporting disabled people of all ages.

We have Māori and Pacific needs assessors and service coordinators who are available to work with you if requested.
