Spectrum Care

About

Spectrum Care is an independent charitable trust that provides services for children, young people and adults with disabilities and their families.

Story

We’re an independent charitable trust that provides support for children, young people and adults with disabilities, and their families.

Our services include 24-hour support for people living in residential homes throughout the Auckland and Waikato regions, respite support for adults in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, and respite support for children in Auckland.

We also provide specialised Home support, Transitions support and Aspirations support for people in the greater Auckland region, along with a School Holiday Programme of activities for children.

Our independent living support is specifically focused on empowering people to their lives of choice – lives like any other – in the community.

We also offer a specialised Business Enterprises programme aimed at supporting people towards their employment goals.

We believe in providing person-centred services and options that focus on individual needs. All our services support people to identify their personal goals and aspirations. These are developed into a personalised and achievable ‘Outcomes’ plan, which supports our service users to achieve their immediate and lifelong objectives.

We support the principles of the New Zealand Disability Strategy and place great emphasis on the worth of the individual, personal growth and the provision of holistic support for people with disabilities.

Open two-way communication and the development of community partnerships are integral to our philosophy.
