When others can’t be there.
Residential and in-home community care, rehabilitation and support services for people with traumatic and/or acquired injury.
About Us
Frankton Park provides people living with brain injury and/or other disabilities caring and professional rehabilitation services in a residential setting, and where the individual receives the support necessary to enjoy as much physical, mental, spiritual and emotional wellbeing as they can.
Frankton Park offers short and long-term residential care, as well as in-home support and social-rehabilitation services in multiple locations around New Zealand. We’re an organisation that provides for clients in partnership with their family, government and community agencies, offering knowledge and skills to best meet individual needs. Our environments provide the opportunity to relearn functional skills and achieve activities of daily living through routine and structure.
Frankton Park prides itself on providing culturally appropriate care. Our commitment is to be the best provider of residential and supported services by not just meeting the Ngā Paerewa Health and Disability Services Standards but exceeding them.
Utilising Te Whare Tapa Whā, we welcome diversity and challenge, acknowledging that traumatic and/or acquired brain injury often comes with multiple complexities, including mental and physical health issues, and forensic and behavioural challenges.
Our Values Include:
Mana motuhake: protecting individuals’ right to make decisions about their life
Whānaungatanga: building lasting connections
Tika: honesty and integrity.
Together, we work collaboratively towards our clients’ goals and support them towards independence.
Our service embraces an all-inclusive, holistic approach for working with potentially vulnerable clients, their family/whānau and the wider community. It takes into account what has gone before the current situation, which helps us (the provider) to work with our clients using a positive and practical solutions-focused manner. This is not without its challenges but allows our clients to be fully involved in determining and managing their own future.
Our services are practical, transparent and clearly documented, and involve our clients from day one. For instance, on receipt of a referral, clients and families are involved in practical and administrative assessment of their abilities to determine the degree of functional, independent living skills and support required, and ultimately their ability to transition and remain within the wider community.
By empowering our clients and assisting, facilitating and engaging with them in a positive and consistent manner, self-determination and achievement expectation is encouraged, as is engagement in all aspects of community life e.g., shopping, going on outings or to dinner, social and sporting activities, using public transport independently. Achievement supports success, skill development, confidence and ultimately independence.
