Home4All awarded the Kāpiti Coast Health and Wellbeing runner-up Community award

Last Thursday, 7th of August Home4All was thrilled to be awarded the Runner-up Wellington Airport Regional Community Award in thecategory of Health and Wellbeing! This prestigious annual award comes with a monetary prize of NZ$ 250.00!

The awards ceremony was a grand celebration held at the magnificent Performing Arts Centre in Raumati.

Jan and Marian, the founders of Home4All, were called to the stage to receive this incredible honour. After the ceremony, there was an opportunity to mingle, socialise, and indulge in delightful drinks and bites.

Home4All is absolutely honoured to have been selected for this award. We want to shout out a huge THANK YOU to all our amazing visitors, dedicated volunteers, and incredible board members. This award is testament to their unwavering support and dedication, making it possible for people living with dementia/memory loss to find value and purpose in being part of our vibrant society at the Kāpiti Coast and beyond.

What are the benefits?

Gives respite to partners and carers

The earlier visitors join us, the more that we are able to help them and the greater impact we can have.

How do we work?

Home4All follows the Dutch “green care farm” model, which is small scale intervention in an actual home setting. The normal household activities provide cognitive stimulation and physical exercise in a very natural way and the coffee and meal times provide important social interactions.

We use errorless learning to enable people to regain their autonomy.

These three bundles of joy are all kids from the same litter. They absolutely love attention and are more like puppies than anything! If you're lucky, one of them may even jump into your lap!

Meet the Brothers Gruff

At Home4All Jan and Marian take time to get to know all of their visitors with Dementia. The care they provide is tailored to bring happiness and purpose into daily life with a disability. As the main full time carer for my husband, knowing that one day a week I get a break is also incredibly important. Ian has a good time, I have a good time, and we are both supported by Home4All
