At Harikoa Life, we are dedicated to crafting a future where individuals with disabilities can thrive in a community that celebrates autonomy, belonging, and joy. Our model is designed to address each resident's unique needs and aspirations, ensuring a life that is as autonomous as it is fulfilling. We are currently in the conceptual design phase, focusing on creating a supportive ecosystem that caters to the holistic well-being of our community members.

Future Surety of Residency
Addressing the pressing cost of living, Harikoa Life aims to offer a stable and secure home environment, ensuring long-term residency assurance amidst housing market fluctuations.

Connected Living Experience 
It aims to foster a deep sense of belonging within a supportive and interconnected community, emphasising the importance of social bonds and mutual support.

Integrated Disability Support Services

Access to Shared Services and Facilities 
As we continue to develop our model, we invite feedback and participation from individuals with disabilities, their families, and all who share our vision for a more inclusive society. Your insights are invaluable in shaping a community where everyone can lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Parents and Whānau

Understanding the Journey Together
At Harikoa Life, we recognise the unique journey parents and whānau of individuals with disabilities navigate. The challenges of ensuring a secure, fulfilling future for your loved ones are deeply understood here. We are in the conceptual design phase, aspiring to collaboratively shape a model that genuinely reflects the needs and aspirations of families like yours.

Working with Parents and Whānau
Living a meaningful life presents unique challenges for people with disabilities. It encompasses forging genuine connections, receiving the support needed to lead one's own life, and enjoying the dignity and respect everyone deserves. At the core is the issue of long-term surety, knowing there is a place your child can call home for the rest of their life. As parents of a daughter with a disability, we've navigated the deep concerns of securing a future filled with opportunity, support, and happiness. This shared experience among families across New Zealand inspired us to conceive Harikoa Life—a beacon of hope addressing the gap between expected and actual support services for people with disabilities.

Join Us in Shaping the Future
Your experiences, insights, and aspirations are invaluable to us. We invite parents and whānau to engage with us, sharing your thoughts to ensure our model thoughtfully addresses your needs and challenges. Together, we can build a future where every person with a disability has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life within a supportive community. Harikoa Life proposes to alleviate these worries, ensuring a secure, independent future for their children within a supportive community.

Financial Stability 
The long-term financial challenges of providing for a child with disabilities can be overwhelming. Harikoa Life is designed to ease this burden, offering cost-effective living solutions that promise a more manageable and meaningful life.

Supportive Community Integration
The initiative envisions a welcoming, supportive community that provides continuous assistance to individuals with disabilities, fostering an environment of care and support.

Family Counselling and Support 
Acknowledging the complex dynamics families face, Harikoa Life plans to provide counselling services aimed at helping parents and whānau support their children while also pursuing their independence and well-being. 
 
Your Voice Matters
We are eager to connect with interested parents and families to design and develop Harikoa Life collaboratively. Your involvement is crucial in shaping a model that not only meets but exceeds the needs and expectations of our loved ones.
