Empowering older adults
TOA (Treasured Older Adults) Pacific works to promote the rights, health and wellbeing of Pacific older adults. It aims to empower older people to be independent, to participate and to contribute to the community.
From the 2010 Annual Report
It works to prevent elder abuse and neglect and runs a health and disability information and education programme for older Pacific people in Counties Manukau. Its daycare programme includes games, songs, outings and exercise programmes and it runs home visits for homebound older people, adult literacy classes and a men's health programme.
TOA Pacific’s work shows strong alignment with ASB Community Trust’s strategy for the health sector, where ASB Community Trust supports community organisations that improve health outcomes by focusing on health promotion and preventative projects.
TOA Pacific’s services continue to attract people from all over Auckland, drawn by its ability to enhance health and wellbeing through support services, valuing of cultural differences and encouraging interdependence within families.
