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.
[The support I received] meant I had access to someone in the community whose job was to check in with me, meet me where I was at, and treat me with empathy. This was something that I desperately needed.
