How we help
Support that fits your life
Everyone's journey is different. We will work with you to find the kind of support that feels right, now and as things change.
Shared homes, supported day and night
A small shared home with your own bedroom and an experienced team close by, day and night, for people who would benefit from more support.
Life skills and community
Support to build everyday skills at your own pace, and to stay connected with whānau, friends, work, learning, faith and the things you enjoy.
Our approach
What this can mean for you and your whānau
We are guided by the Enabling Good Lives principles, so support is shaped around each person and what a good life looks like for them.
Make an enquiryGrowing independence
Doing more for yourself, at your own pace, with support that gently steps back as confidence grows.
Peace of mind for whānau
Experienced support workers, a clear plan and regular updates, so whānau can stay involved and feel reassured.
Belonging in your community

Getting started
How it usually works
There is no pressure and no jargon. We will go at a pace that feels right for you.
Get in touch
Share a little about the support you are looking for, online or by email. Whānau and professionals are welcome too.
Come and visit
Visit the home, meet the team and the people who live there. You are welcome to bring whānau.
Plan together
Together we put a support plan in place around your goals, interests and routines.
Settle in
We help with the tenancy paperwork, the move and getting settled, one step at a time.
Working alongside Kaikaranga
Kaikaranga, formerly Taikura Trust, is the NASC for Auckland. If you have been assessed, or are about to be, we can work together with your service coordinator, with your permission, so the move from assessment to support feels joined up.
