How to use this site

There are three main ways to search Eldernet:

Keyword search - This method is especially helpful if you know the name of a service and wish to find out more about it.
Maps - Service Location - A map shows where services are located across New Zealand. We are progressively rolling out this part of our service and are adding information to this map as it becomes available. This method is useful for those occasions when the locality of a service is important.
Menu Search - This is the most comprehensive way in which to search the site. This function allows you to search though standardised sections and fields for the things that are important to you. In order to get the best results we suggest that you make a very basic search in the first instance; don't make too many selections. Where you are given the option to 'Browse' we suggest you do so. This way you get a better idea of the amount and type of information in that particular section. You can then go back and adjust your search accordingly. MORE
