Alzheimers Northland will soon celebrate it’s 25th year of providing free services to Northlanders From our humble beginnings in 1992, working out of the Old Town Hall building we now have a purposes built facility on Third Ave, permanent offices in Kaitaia[P1] and Kerikeri and we operate day respite programs in Paihia and Waipu as well.
The demand on our services is in line with our aging agingpopulation but with support from our District Health Board (DHB we seem to keeping pace..Also Our DHB has also been very proactive in looking how it delivers service to people with dementia and their carer’s./ and our DHB is constantly collaborating with us on ways to improve. There’s always plenty to do.
Alzheimer’s Northland is focused on support carers and will provide a series of training days throughout the region. The training cover such topics as carer stress, the importance of regular Carer breaks, social isolation just to name a few.
funding continue to be an issue for the Society but is no different to any other Not for Profit organization so we just have to get on with it.[P2]We do get amazing support from regional and national funders as well as individual locals who buy raffles, attend movie nights and come to monthly dinners and support us as they can.
Our monthly dinners have proved very successful[P3], the ‘First Friday” dinner is held at our Third Ave buildings and gives people with dementia and their families opportunity to enjoy a meal in a safe and familiar environment. We will continue to run these for as long as people keep tuning up.
