IDEA Services supports people with intellectual disabilities to enjoy great lives as part of their communities. They are New Zealand’s largest provider of services for people with intellectual disabilities and their families/whānau. Their Supported Living service works with people who want to live in their own home and have some support, and their Living with Support - Residential service provides supported accommodation for people with intellectual disabilities who require a level of care and want to live in a supportive community. They will also work with you, your whānau and your community to support your choices about the things you would like to do, whether that is employment or other opportunities and experiences.
Their core values are:
- Empowerment
- Inclusion
- Responsiveness
- Support
Each person’s plan is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
They can support you to:
- Set goals and achieve them
- Make meaningful connections with others and live the life you want
- Have as much independence as possible while balancing it with the right support
