Seniors

Recognising that our population is aging, The Salvation Army provides a continuum of service for people who have reached what is now called the ‘third age’.

In this definition, the ‘first age’ is the age of learning, the ‘second age’ is the age working and the ‘third age’ the age of living.

Services for people of the ‘third age’ are provided by The Salvation Army as follows:

  1. Companions/Over 60’s attached to many Salvation Army centres
  2. Independent Living Units (ILU's) scattered throughout the land
  3. Homecare services—providing support to people (the elderly and those with special needs) within their own homes
  4. Chaplaincy services—spiritual care to those in residential aged care facilities throughout New Zealand
  5. Hospice Care—palliative care and support services

ps. these services are by no means exclusive to ‘third age’ citizens.
