Community services for older adults
A generous gift from the Stevenson Village Trust has enabled The Selwyn Foundation to purchase a fleet of three age-friendly vans, which can accommodate wheel chairs to offer a community transport service to Haumaru Housing tenants across Auckland.
Being able to reconnect older people to their wider community and to others in a similar situation is paramount to their wellbeing.
Our vision is to be able to provide more and more older people with greater independence by providing reasonably priced and accessible community transport to community activities, and events they wish to access. These vans are equipped with GPS to ensure the safety of our staff and those older people we are transporting.

Our aim is to eliminate social isolation and loneliness from the lives of our older people. Weekly get-togethers at Selwyn Centres. As well as activities and events in the local community.
Friendship, help and support for older people. Drop in for a cup of tea at any of the following Selwyn Centres in your area.
We provide services for older people who have a diagnosis of dementia and others, who benefit from a stimulating, social environment. The emphasis is on restorative care in a relaxed and fun environment. The service also offers support to carers and whanau.
