What's New
Pakeke Centre staff are excited to advise and promote, that due to demand for this stimulating service, we are now open on a Tuesday 10am till 2pm. This group of people have early stage Dementia, therefore the programme is designed to stimulate the brain. 3 staff at Pakeke have their Level 4 Dementia Certificates, their knowledge and skills are essential for a well balanced programme. Pakeke Centre celebrated 20 years of service in June 2019. |
