ADAPT strives to support developers and operators to deliver excellent lifestyle based outcomes to those with intellectual disabilities.
Our aspiration is to create new universal design led homes in co-living developments. We wish to create spaces that foster independence whilst using intuitive design to encourage connection with the community. We recognise that every one of us needs space to be alone but never lonely. A place to call home.
A registered charitable trust, Assisting Different Abilities Peoples Trust (ADAPT), was born mid 2018. At inception ADAPT purchased two homes in Thames, which were already being used by ten individuals. Together with the assisted living service provider, ADAPT has been able to improve these homes and bring in universal design principles to ensure that they are more built for purpose- creating a more pleasant environment for the individuals living inside them.

Since the Trust started operating in 1987 we’ve learned a few things about helping people with disabilities to live an ordinary life. One of the keys to helping clients is a simple one. When someone walks through our doors, we don’t see their disability and what they can’t do, but what they can do. That’s an attitude the community needs to take on. In many ways, it’s about giving people a chance and that’s what this trust is all about.
For clients who access our services we are a stepping stone into employment, community-based activities, skills/personal development and more. I’m very proud of our staff, both past and present, who recognise that everyone has the potential to do something in the way of work, or developing social skills which develop pathways to employment and the community. We don’t put people in cotton wool or treat them with kid gloves; people are people. We don’t treat people differently because they have a disability. Nor do they want us to.

Since 1989 Community Living has supported disabled people to live the life of their choice, thriving as part of the community.
We provide an individualised service led by the people we support. Based in Hamilton, we work with communities throughout the middle of the North Island including the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki.
With our partners we now support more than 800 individuals of all ages. In October 2021 Lifestyle Choices in the Bay of Plenty joined the Community Living whānau and are now operating under the name Community Choices. They serve approximately 60 people in their own home or in residential homes. Here are some more key points:
- Disabled people lead in our organisation both on the board and through Ko Tātou Tēnei – our board advisory group made up of the people we work for.
- We support 165 people, 24 hours per day, 365 days of the year in individual homes and flats, and we own 39 houses and units on top of some 35 – 40 flats. We rent these from both Community Housing and private landlords, depending on our client needs.
- We help around 175 whānau/families who have a family member with a disability living at home with them, and we have a range of supports including respite and Supported Independent Living.
- We support 100 people to obtain real meaningful work or to gain the skills that will help them to get a job.
- We provide specialist support such as therapy services across the region and protective services for people with a disability or with a history of offending.
- We employ more than 520 people in various part-time and full-time roles. Irrespective of the nature of our roles or positions, we are all here to work in partnership with people with disabilities, their whānau/family and the broader community and help to facilitate each individual to live their dreams through community connections
The sector is changing rapidly and we’ve been at the forefront of the Enabling Good Lives approach, which for us means “Nou Te Mana” or “The power is within you”. Nou Te Mana is our focus going forward, with disabled people leading at all levels of our organisation.

Organisation Details
The Hawksbury Community Living Trust was initially set up in 1992 to provide quality residential support for people with intellectual disabilities. The service opened its first home in Dunedin in April 1992 and has since opened 10 further homes in Dunedin and Christchurch.
The majority of the people we support initially moved from instituitional care to a more independant environment with a community focus. New referrals are now received from families and other community based organisations who are currently providing this support.
In October 2004, Hawksbury Trust achieved Certification under the Health and Disability Sector (Safety) Standards. This Certification monitors our committment to the ongoing support Hawksbury Trust offers our residents, their family and whanau and staff.

The cultural life of our communities is strong, with emphasis on therapies and the arts (visual art, music, drama, speech, eurythmy).
We value the place of work and making a meaningful contribution to society. A retail outlet in central Napier, Hōhepa Creative Works, showcases some of the products produced by people we support including weaving, candles and items made from wood. The Hōhepa Environmental Services grows and plants native trees as part of wetland restoration projects, providing work opportunities for people with high and complex needs. In 2014 Hōhepa Hawke’s Bay opened a site in Otaihanga, Kāpiti Coast; this growing community will have delegated authority for self-governing in 2 years time.

Mana Ātea is a newly established provider of individualised and flexible supports to people with disability and their whānau/families with the vision of being fully inclusive. This means working in partnership with people with disability and their whānau/family to live in their own home and to receive supports that meet their individual needs and preferences from people that they choose and trust.
My Place Aotearoa believes that family/whānau are the foundation of communities and can only thrive if they are connected to, are valued by and have a sense of belonging in their own communities. My Place Aotearoa’s name was purposely selected to reflect the very personalised, client-controlled approach: individuals standing in their own power, in their own wisdom.
My Place Aotearoa will support people who have been referred to the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) ‘Living my Life’ service in the wider Auckland area, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty. The areas of support that My Place Aotearoa will provide under this service are called ‘Tailored Supports’ and ‘Coaching to Self-Manage’. My Place Aotearoa is committed to work in partnership with each person with disability to plan and receive supports that meet their individual needs and preferences from people that they choose and trust. My Place Aotearoa does not provide any group home, day centre or other congregate care services.

Our facilitation services model enables us to support our clients with all elements of their life and funding by providing one key point of contact with complete oversight of their needs and funding. The aim is to make things as easy to use as possible, enhance mana, build long-lasting relationships that begin early and focus on holistic outcomes that access mainstream options first, with funded services there if needed, based on the determination clients and their families/whanau make.
Part of this service is our Disability Information and Advisory Service (DIAS) and navigation contracts, which we have embedded into our delivery, and as a separate service for those families that need extra information advice or guidance, as well as practical support as they navigate their way through any situation that might be troubling them.
We also offer two community participation programs, our LYNKZ and LYNKZ outreach service, where our whanau work with our facilitators to identify activities they would like to complete or attend, as well as skills they would like to learn. We deliver the LYNKZ programmes out of our office in Whangarei and by travelling to Kerikeri, Kaikohe, Rawene, and Kaitaia. Trying to ensure we can service the population or the whole of Te Tai Tokerau.
As part of our holistic offering, we can support our clients in accessing Whangarei Budgeting Service, which is funded to support whanau to improve their financial capability through one-to-one support or group information seminars or classes.
NorthAble works to support our wider community through the provision of a covid mentor service which helps people deal with the long and short-term effects of covid and access resources such as food. This service has broadened its scope to offer emergency planning to disabled people across Te Tai Tokerau to ensure that they have the knowledge, skills, and contacts to deal with it if something unforeseen happens.
We are in the process of setting up a new pilot service called Āhei, which is an internship program working with disabled rangatahi with a focus on increasing employment skills and creating opportunities for sustainable, long-term employment. We will work with multiple local host businesses to place interns into their organisations. They will be provided with the opportunity to learn and evidence their ability to deliver many work-based capabilities. When their internship finishes, we will support them through our job mentor to look at future opportunities for them,
We also own and operate NorthAble Equipment+, a shop with a social purpose that focuses on providing people with the equipment they need to enable them to live their best lives. We can offer total mobility assessments to remove the financial pressure of public transport across the Whangarei area.
NorthAble is focused on the future; we are here to support all ngā tāngata whaikaha of Te Tai Tokerau and beyond as we work to continue to deliver our purpose, to walk along and Work alongside people with disabilities to support them to lead their best life.

The Ranfurly Care Society promotes the spiritual, physical and intellectual well being of people with an intellectual disability.
We stand as an advocate in the community, working for an environment that is protective, caring and educational; offering choices, promoting social contact and building a sense of achievement.
Ranfurly Residential Home has been providing services for people with an intellectual disability since 1992.
The Ranfurly Residential Home provides 24-hour support for permanent residents, as well as offering short-term respite care for caregivers with intellectually disabled dependents.
Residents are encouraged to develop a realistic level of independence based on their individual capabilities and to participate as much as possible in normal everyday activities.
Our objective is to create a family/whanau environment where residents and staff can interact with one another in a homely atmosphere.
As a family/whanau organisation, the Society has an ‘open door’ policy that encourages family/whanau and friends to visit at any time and they are welcome to participate in any aspect of Society life.
The home-like environment allows resident interaction and the building of friendships while also pursuing individual interests.

Supported Individualised Lifestyle Choices (SILC) is the service arm of SILC Charitable Trust, an independent trust with the primary aim of reinforcing and enhancing the contributions people with disabilities make in their communities.
SILC achieves this by being of service to people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities or whose disability has been acquired as a result of an illness or the onset of a degenerative disorder anytime before the person reaches 65.
A holistic approach recognises that a person’s personal network − including family, whanau and friends − is an integral part of an inclusive quality life and, therefore, is valued and included in a partnership to ensure people’s aspirations are achieved.
We do this by providing a continuum of support options within the framework of both Residential and Supported Living contracts (as defined by the MoH) and we provide these services in Tauranga.

Organisation Details
We are passionate about making sure people with disabilities can live the best life possible. We work hard to make sure they understand the disability support they are entitled to, and that they know how to access and use that support. And we keep it simple.
We have a number of people in our team with lived experience of disability, including people with disabilities, a Pasifika Liaison, and parents with disabled children. Many people have told us we “get it” because we understand the day-to-day challenges of living with disability.
We believe that people are the experts in their own lives so it is critical that they are actively involved in putting together the plan for how they want to use their funding. We value people’s lived experience and want to hear feedback and ideas from the people we support, so we regularly ask for this when we review how they are going. This information helps us to make changes to what we do and how we work with people.
As an Individualised Funding (IF) host we support people across the wider Auckland area, and we advocate for them with the NASC (Taikura) as needed. We help people to manage their IF budget across the year, and keep them regularly informed of where their budget is at. We also know that people are juggling lots of responsibilities, so we work hard to get back to people quickly when they contact us.
We also support a number of disabled people to stay living in their own homes by providing Community Support Workers to help them with day-to-day tasks so they can continue to live as independently as possible.
We connect regularly with other providers to network and share ideas, and this directly benefits the people we support. We also present to community groups to get the word out about the availability of disability support.

Vision Rehabilitation Services, Auckland, is not your typical disability/low vision/blind rehabilitation Charity. Founded in 2020, we abide by the philosophy that recovery and adjustment from vision loss and/or any disability requires a full spectrum of holistic and seamless care, therapy, training, and adaptation, instead of a narrow focus on one area of care, unlike other services currently presented in New Zealand.
As a self-sufficient Charitable rehabilitation service organisation, a vision and disability service hub, our caring rehab staff/helpers are alongside on client-support and care.
You or your loved ones will be given the best chance of adjustment/recovery knowing that your best interests are always at the forefront of our considerations.
Our foremost rehabilitation team is comprised of some of the most dedicated, compassionate and understanding men and women in the field. Many on our help-force are individuals with disabilities themselves and work as volunteers in delivering their services.
We strive to achieve an inclusive and synergistic relationship with every client/patient who walks through our doors. Creating a “win-win” relationship will enable us to offer you and your family the best possible care by providing a simplified and centralised set of services; easier for both us and clients.
