Get your FREE Where from Here handbook
The Where from Here handbook is often referred to as the"Aged Care Bible". However, information about aged care is not all it has to offer!
Where from Here contains essential information for older people in New Zealand - ranging from mental and physical wellbeing, getting help at home, carer support, enduring powers of attorney, financial assistance and information about retirement facilities etc. The book lists all residential homes in the region and specifies the level of care each one provides. There are also lists of all home help providers, Kaumatua services and day care providers.
This handbook is bought to you by the same team that operates the Eldernet website. They aim to put you in the driving seat, by giving you the information you need to make informed decisions.
