Update from 25th August 2020
Kia Ora, yesterday we heard from the government that we will remain in Level 2 here in Northland. With this in mind and using our Pandemic Plan, information from the Ministry of Health and our DHB, we will be working with the guidelines outlined below. We are keeping all our fingers crossed that we will be able to return to normal on Monday. Please be assured we are still here for you. If you have any queries, concerns or are in anyway anxious about the weeks ahead please get in touch, our Community Advisors mobile phone numbers can be found below.
Services
Day programmes:
Our day centres in Whangarei and Paihia will continue to operate under level 2. Those that usually attend Waipu are able to come to Whangarei.
Attendance is optional, do whatever feels safe and comfortable for your family. We will be in touch with all day programme visitors to chat about attendance.
Carers who drop off visitors at will be met at the door by staff, and they do not need to enter the building.
We will have tracing systems in place along with assisted hand sanitiser stations.
Community Advisory Staff
Will still be available by phone but may be working from home. Our Community Advisors will be in touch with anyone they have appointments with to make sure it is still appropriate.
Please use the expert knowledge of our Community Advisors, if you have any queries feel free to call them, we are happy to set up a Zoom if you would like.
