Geneva’s 2019 Highlights

Supporting the health and wellness of New Zealanders isn’t always straightforward, but we’re rather proud of what we’ve accomplished in 2019.  

We have provided in-home care support for just under 13,000 people, in addition to other New Zealanders who have benefited from our disability support, rehabilitation and wellness services.

Thousands of people now have the opportunity to be in the driver’s seat using our online tool, My Homecare, with more control and choice over their care.

100% of our in-home support carers are using our clean and green, totally paperless, Geneva LIVE Mobile App that ensures a more transparent, accurate and reliable information about the care delivered to the people we support.

We are incorporating Te Reo in our workplace and encouraging our employees to embrace the language through initiatives such as converting a meeting room into a Kōhanga Reo (language nest), and translating our job titles in our email signatures.
