We are a Charitable Trust, a group of families all with a son or daughter who has the dual disability of congenital deafblindness, a result of Rubella during pregnancy.
Home for Life
Home for Life
We run a home, Harbour Lodge, for five adults, with the aim of giving the residents the opportunity to live as independently as they are able, but with as much support as they need. They are very dependent on caregivers to be their eyes and ears, speaking on their behalf and assisting them to interact in the community.
This home is the only one in New Zealand providing residential services to people who are both deaf and blind from birth. The home has been operational since the beginning of 1995 and as our name says, we are firmly focussed on providing our family members an excellent quality of life.

The development of Multi Sensory Stimulation Rooms began in the Netherlands back in the seventies. The great benefits sensory rooms offer people regardless of age or ability are widely recognised.
Sensory equipment is widely used in therapies for sensory integration and stimulation, to help those with sensory dysfunction or sensory deficiency to learn to use information from all of their senses and develop them for learning and improvement.
Interactive Multi-sensory rooms assist in the development of life skills including switching, gross and fine motor skills, cause and effect, colour, number and shape recognition, tracking, hand to eye coordination and much more. Dark rooms are used to enhance and exaggerate the difference between dark and fluorescent products.
For relaxation, calming and de-escalation this is the perfect solution.
