Mō mātou - About us
When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people in our communities for more than 115 years.
Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.
PSC has two well-known service brands that lie at the heart of our mahi:
- Enliven: our positive ageing services that create age-friendly communities where older people have companionship, choice, fun, and purpose.
- Family Works: our social services supporting children and families through counselling, social work, life-skills and parenting programmes, and safety services.
Most days, when you walk through the doors of Brightwater Home you’ll find a hive of activity. The elders of this well-known rest home tell us they enjoy the fantastic social and activities calendar, the companionship and friendly banter and the sense of belonging that comes with this tight-knit community. Situated in Terrace End in Palmerston North, Brightwater Home is set on attractive grounds with gardens, courtyards and beautiful established trees.
Together, we make a lasting difference.
