About
"Whaiora" literally translated means "in pursuit of or the search for life, safety and good health. These ideas, along with the desire among the Maori of Otara to facilitate their own home care program for Kuia and Kaumatua saw the inception of the first Maori pilot program of "Whaiora Kaumatua 60s plus" in September 1988.
Whaiora Homecare Services Inc is a Maori Provider Agency, contracted and funded by the MoH to provide home and community based services to people with disabilities in the Counties Manukau area of South Auckland. Whaiora works within the Articles of the Treaty of Waitangi to provide culturally aware, sensitive and safe services to clients within their own homes and communities.
