We know that those who choose to live at home in the wider community and who are receiving support services often get considerable help from family members and spouses. We know too in these situations that it’s beneficial for all parties to get regular breaks and recharge their batteries.

We are confident you will go home refreshed and be looking forward to your next stay with us.

Let us be an extension of your family/whanau support network.
