Tauranga is our base in the Bay of Plenty, offering respite care services for taiohi and tāngata whai ora. These are home-like spaces for our tāngata whai ora and taiohi to rest and focus on their wellbeing in a caring supportive whare.
I always feel seen, heard, and understood by my support worker. We discuss achievable steps in order to make progress going forward. She has been consistently supportive towards me.

I appreciate being able to get out of the house and visit different places. My support worker is awesome and knows me well.

The personal touch, the friendship within a professional relationship. Getting to know each other means she knows me. She can't solve the problems of the world, however she does offer me moral support and this means a lot. We are from different backgrounds and different places. We share empathy.
