Enliven Services available in Auckland

In Auckland and South Auckland we are contracted by the Auckland and Counties Manukau District Health Boards to support older people with low to high needs who have been referred to us by the local Needs Assessment and Service Co-ordination (NASC) agency.

Home-based, restorative support

Enliven's home-based restorative support services are tailored to meet the needs of older people (65+) who are living in their own home.

After consultation with each client individually-tailored programmes of support are developed for them by one of our Service Co-ordinators. The restorative programme that results invariably involves the integration of physical activity.

Services, which can be delivered up to three times a day, seven days a week, are provided by highly trained Key Support Workers.

There is no fixed list of services, but a service package may include:

• Goal-based planning individually tailored to meet your personal needs and what is important to you
• Rehabilitation to assist you in regaining skills, mobility, confidence
• Activities to ensure you stay as independent as you can
• Physical exercises based around daily living activities to keep you physically active
• Practical support to keep your household up and running
• Personal care based on your individual needs
• Regular liaison with doctors, nurses and other health professionals to make sure that you are getting the very best support and the help that is right for you.

Befriending Service

Are you living alone and/or are you unable to drive? Would you like a bit more social contact to support you to remain at home?

Enliven Befriending Service volunteers can stop in regularly for a chat, or help you get to an appointment or a leisure activity - anything that helps ensure you continue to have social interaction.
