Koroua me Kuia
Early intervention services for older people
The kaupapa of this service is to provide opportunities for koroua and kuia to access healthcare services.
We also help to ensure that older people are supported in their community.
Mō mātou ratonga - Our services include:
Day programme
activities that are oriented to a person’s interests and abilities
activities that contribute to falls prevention
community-based activities, such as shopping trips, community events and intergenerational activities
Navigation services
Our Pūkenga Manaaki (whānau navigators) are useful people to talk to at in any point of your healthcare journey with Te Piki Oranga.
They help you access the health system, and will often connect you to other healthcare professionals (in hospital services, for example). Our navigators help improve your health outcomes by providing:
help to access the most appropriate medical and healthcare facilities
a smooth (as possible) transition between services
transport when you need it
culturally-appropriate support and advocacy
relevant health education
links and consultation between whānau, community and service agencies
