Care Solutions was established in 1999, after a public meeting that outlined the urgent need for carer relief in the Nelson area for families of children with long-term disabilities.
Care Solutions is a non-Government agency that has provided various care contracts and supervised contact within the community for 15 years. The variety of services available has been our point of difference; we see it as a real advantage being able to offer our clients a variety of care opportunities. Some clients have required services short-term while others stayed with us for extended periods of time.
Over subsequent years services grew to meet the local demand, expanding into Adult and Child & Adolescent Mental Health; planned and crisis respite, along with pediatrics and elderly. Supervised Contact services also grew in Wellington, Tauranga and Nelson.
Care Solutions was approved as a Child and Family support service. This enabled Care Solutions to provide placements for Child, Youth & Family. These children/young people have often had a challenging start to life and present with diverse and complex needs.
Today, 2014, Care Solutions is in the process of restructuring, with the aim of consolidating their care services to meet changing community needs.Watch this website for updates.
