Home support services
District health boards fund services that enable older people to be supported to live in their own homes. Home support services give older people the ability to make choices in later life about where they want to live, and to receive the support to do so.
The Ministry of Health's work programme includes a focus on the development of home and community support services for older people while working to improve health outcomes for older people. An important aspect of this is development of a continuum of care approach for older peoples’ support services, and a greater emphasis on development of home and community-based services.
