HELP FOR THE ELDERLY I was recently advised about a new website from our Welfare Officer, for helping elderly people to obtain information that they want, and have difficulty in finding products and services for the Elderly in Tauranga/Mount Maunganui/Papamoa/ Katikati / Te Puke / Taranaki / Horowhenua, and growing all the time. They have all of the contacts and information that you will need in one great website that is packed with useful listings and information.
