Community rehabilitation services

Supporting you to live well, at home and in the community

We offer holistic, evidence-based community rehabilitation services to help individuals regain independence and improve quality of life after illness, injury or a significant change in health. Whether you’ve been referred through ACC, a health provider or are seeking private support, we’re here to walk alongside you and your loved ones.

Community rehabilitation services help you regain independence and improve quality of life after illness or injury. Our home-based rehabilitation and community rehab services are tailored to support your goals — whether managing daily tasks, returning to work or reconnecting socially.

What is community rehabilitation?

Community rehabilitation focuses on helping people function better in their own homes and local communities. Our services support you to achieve your personal goals—whether that’s returning to work, managing daily routines, reconnecting socially or increasing your overall physical and emotional wellbeing.

We work with children/tamariki, young people/rangatahi, adults and older people to help them overcome barriers and thrive in their everyday environments.

What we offer: Our range of rehabilitation services

Our community rehabilitation services include home-based rehabilitation, functional and cognitive assessments, return-to-work support, speech therapy and social re-engagement — all personalised to your unique needs.

ACC Training for Independence Services

Training for independence services helps you regain independence at home following an injury, improve your confidence and mobility, manage emotional and psychological challenges, and reintegrate into your home, workplace or community. We hold ACC contracts for Te Ata Tu, Te Ata Pō and Tamariki and Rangatahi.

Home-based rehabilitation

Individualised rehabilitation is delivered in the comfort of your own home. This can include improving mobility, increasing independence with personal care and household tasks.

Cognitive, communication and emotional rehabilitation

Supporting those recovering from brain injury, concussion or neurological conditions, these services help with memory, attention, problem-solving and emotional regulation.

Our speech and language therapists can provide support for communication or swallowing difficulties resulting from injury, illness or neurological conditions.

Community access and re-engagement

These services help you to reconnect with social, recreational and community activities that are meaningful to you.
