Navigation of Services for Older Adults

Overview

We are reaching out for your help to gather vital data. A group of interested parties has formed (Grey Power Marlborough, PSUSI Te Waiharakeke + CAB Marlborough) along with Council, have identified a growing concern around the needs of Marlborough's population over the age of 65, approximately 12,510 (23.9%) of the total population. Over the last year it has become increasingly evident that some of Marlborough's seniors have needs that are more complex and concerning. Community organisations deal daily with the fallout from a lack of resource to this group enabling them to access and maintain appropriate services, support and guidance as required.

Feedback from your organisation is critical and will assist to collect the data needed to quantify and accurately describe this need in order to formulate the right solutions for this sector of the Marlborough community.

Thank you for taking 5 minutes to complete this survey.

What happens next

Once the data has been collated, 'next steps' planning will commence at the end of January 2025. Anyone interested in being part of the working group please contact any of the existing organisations. 

Any update will be provided to all survey participants by the end of March 2025
