The Resilient Ageing in Place project asked diverse groups of older New
Zealanders ‘What is the ideal place to grow older?’. The New Zealand population
is ‘ageing’, so as we grow older, where and how do we want to live? This website
is intended as a resource for our research participants’ views and
recommendations to be shared with policy-makers, service-providers, researchers,
friends, whānau, and all of us who are growing older. This project is part of
Social and Community Health at the School of Population Health, The University
of Auckland, and is led by
Dr Janine Wiles.

Participants reports
Feedback meetings with participants in the Resilient Ageing in Place study were
held to discuss research analysis and findings, after which these brief summary
reports were sent out. Each report includes some comments from participants, and
all names have been changed to protect identity; however, the names of the two
study sites (Glen Innes and Tokoroa) have not been changed, as people were proud
of where they lived.
