The Eldernet Group has released the latest Lower North Island edition of Where From Here – He Ara Whakamua, a FREE, comprehensive resource designed to help older people and their whānau navigate their ageing journey.

Often referred to as the “older person’s bible”, this edition includes up-to-date listings on all care homes and retirement villages available across the Lower North Island, from Wellington up to Hawke’s Bay. Extensive indexes of home support providers, along with social, kaumātua and day programmes, can also be found inside.

Where From Here – He Ara Whakamua empowers older people and their whānau with clear, unbiased information. Find anything from financial considerations, how to go about choosing a retirement village or care home, why you should get an Enduring Power of Attorney, and much more. The Eldernet Group have compiled all the facts and figures, and interpreted confusing terms, to enable older Kiwis and their families to make informed decisions with confidence.

Where From Here – He Ara Whakamua is also used by healthcare and community service professionals, such as NASC workers, to help inform the people they work with.

“We provide the Where from here books to all our clients and their families, as well as the general public. We love the section about choosing a rest home; it is incredibly helpful for those who have decided it is time to take the next step in their dementia journey.”

– Samantha McGaw, Dementia Waikato

The Upper North Island edition of Where From Here – He Ara Whakamua is now being distributed by local libraries, healthcare providers, community hubs and more. This book can also be accessed online for those who prefer a digital format.
