Our Services
17 August 2017
We all know that we are getting older. So are the people we love. While this should be something we all celebrate, it can be tough. With an increasing number of major life changes, health challenges and the loss of loved ones, it is crucial that we have the support we need within reach.
At Age Concern Auckland, we are committed to promoting well-being, rights, respect and dignity for older people. We deliver a number of services that aim to empower communities. We also work hard to bring people from a position of vulnerability to one of resilience.
Our Services Include:
Accredited Visiting Service: Providing companionship and support for older people living independently in the community by matching them with a regular, volunteer visitor.
Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention Service: Aims to improve the quality of life of older people in abusive situations and to prevent abuse by providing information, education programmes, advocacy and support.
Field Social Workers: Social Workers are available to support and assist older people with any social needs and health or well-being issues.
Total Mobility Scheme: Assesses and provides subsidised taxi cards to eligible people.
Community Education: Delivers a range of programmes and promotes positive ageing strategies so people can age in place and maintain a quality of life.
Minibus Service: takes people living in residential care for outings in the community.
