Age Concern

What we do

Age Concern Wellington offers a free, confidential service to help in cases of Elder Abuse or Neglect. Abuse can take many forms such as psychological, financial, physical, institutional or situations of neglect. We also offer education to care workers, medical staff and community groups, to alert people to signs of abuse and how to report such incidents. We work in close collaboration with a number of agencies, such as Alzheimers, DHBs and other Community Groups.
​
In addition to the Elder Abuse Prevention Service, we offer an Accredited Visiting Service to the isolated and elderly, which provides a trained and police checked volunteer to visit weekly as a ‘friendship’ service. The office also answers queries on a whole range of issues regarding older people. We produce a quarterly magazine which regularly publishes articles on avoiding scams, how to deal with difficult situations and also, of course, useful hints.
