New home for Alzheimer’s Society
There was a full house at the opening of Northland Alzheimer's Society’s new premises in Corks Rd where about 70 people celebrated the move into a larger, smarter, future-proofed building. The society shifted home a month ago but officially opened its new premises on Friday. Based on a house plan and built by Whangarei company Homeworld Design and Build, it houses offices and has increased room for dementia day programmes and carer support groups, while the large grounds will provide a relaxing atmosphere for clients and their families. Alzheimer’s Northland provides services to about 450 non-residential clients. Predictions are that the number of people suffering form the most common form of dementia would double over the next 15 years. Photos by John Stone.
