From the families we support

Thank you to the lovely people of Christchurch WanderSearch who helped mum stay in her residential unit (and go walking nearly every day) for several extra months before she eventually needed to be admitted to a Dementia unit. Looking back, I appreciate more fully that these extra days of independence were so very precious.

WanderSearch has given both myself and family peace of mind and reassurance.

It gave dad the freedom to continue walking in his community and to be part of his church.
