Finding the right support
Ensuring the right living environment, with the right supports, is essential for older people, making a difference to social lives, the activities we participate in and the support required live confidently and well.
Some people, particularly following a hospital admission, may believe that moving into an aged residential care facility is inevitable. While sometimes this is the right decision, there are other times when older people may be able to stay in their homes, with the necessary support.
Across the Te Whatu Ora Southern health system, we provide support to those for whom staying at home is first choice, and those ready to move into aged residential care.
