Support and advocacy services

New Zealand has a strong emphasis on community, so you’ll find a range of formal community services that support older people and their families.

Some of these focus on health and connect you with healthcare providers that suit your needs, such as Stroke Foundation NZ and Alzheimers New Zealand. If you’re struggling with your mental health, there are several services here that can help you work through this.

Others, such as Grey Power, are advocacy groups and are there to be a voice for you, while Age Concern emphasises building connections and friendships through workshops and activities.

You’ll find plenty of options here that will make your life at home easier and more fulfilling.
