Residential Services

Frankton Park provides 24-hour, seven-days-a-week support and care within a residential setting to people with traumatic and/or acquired brain injury. We’re certified under the Ministry of Health to provide residential services, and alongside that hold a current residential contract with ACC.

Offering short-term, long-term and respite options for those with brain injury, Frankton Park assists residents to enhance their mauri and increase their independence. We place a strong focus on ‘my next step forward’ through goal-setting and individualised support solutions, and aim to bolster residents’ strength, resilience and ability to re-enter their community. Our active environments provide the opportunity to relearn functional skills and achieve activities of daily living through routine and structure. Living together in flatting situations with the support of kaimahi (support staff) facilitates engagement and social reconnection within our homes and communities.

Our residential service is based on the traditional flatting concept — with support. You can expect:

  • Compatibility. From referral to acceptance, you’re in the driver’s seat, interviewing the applicants for the home you live in. Acceptance is based on a genuine like for each other, and each person’s individual functional ability paired with agreed support needs, rehabilitation programs and goals.

  • Honesty, respect and trust – the foundation of our homes.

  • Routines – related to cooking, cleaning, gardening and general maintenance around the home.

  • To create a rehabilitation life balance that works.

  • Life-skill development, including personal accountability, natural consequences and reciprocal agreement to drive goal attainment.

  • To live with people with or without injury. This will be different for everyone. 

In-home Care and Support Services

After a traumatic or acquired brain injury, our in-home care and support service (Mauri Rehabilitation) can be an option for you and is delivered in your own home with professionalism, care and respect.  We’re certified through the Ministry of Health to provide integrated home and community services, and are contracted through ACC.

Our skilled team of healthcare professionals – including occupational therapists, physiotherapists and social workers – assists you to regain your pre-injury movement, routines, relationships and life.

Design your rehabilitation needs with us, allowing Mauri Rehabilitation to assist in your journey.

Privately Funded Support Services

Frankton Park is able to respond creatively to a variety of situations that fall outside traditional funding streams. Our funding predominately comes from government, but if this doesn’t apply to you, we can discuss other options, such as private funding. 

We offer assessments and rehabilitation on an individual basis that may be delivered as a one-off on an ongoing service. The possibilities include:

  • A multidisciplinary clinical team providing wrap-around services according to assessed need

  • In-home care for traumatic and/or acquired brain injury or spinal injury, or accident-, medical- or age-related issues

  • Occupational therapy assessments, including functional, housing, vocational and home safety

  • Behaviour assessments for challenging behaviours

  • Pre-assessments to identify individual needs and ways to meet them

Flatting Service

In line with our continuum of service, once the first steps to independence are in place, you and your flatmates will be ready to move from our residential home to our flatting service, which enables each of you to live more independently further afield, in the communities of your choice, closer to work and/or family.

Other Services

Supported Employment

Supported Employment is a free service for job seekers, employees and employers. It supports job seekers to find paid work, or work experience and training that may lead to paid work. Supported Employment staff approach employers to find out what they need and match the right person to the job; employers can also contact Supported Employment to find out more about hiring someone. Staff can provide support during induction and training, and stay in contact with both employers and employees for the period of employment.

Education and Skill Development 

We support people to identify their learning needs, develop skills, and access further education and skill development in the community or in one of our centres if not available in the community.

Voluntary Work

A person may want to contribute to the community by becoming a volunteer, whether via a recycling initiative, meals on wheels or a planting programme at beaches and parks. We support people to identify opportunities for voluntary work based on their interests.
