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 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 whānau through counselling, social work, life-skills and parenting programmes and safety services.
Situated in the popular Masterton suburb of Lansdowne, Kandahar Home is based around a grand character villa with beautiful cottage style garden surrounds. Residents tell us they enjoy the social interaction (and banter) with fellow residents and staff, the delicious meals, the homely feel, engaging atmosphere and spacious grounds. Kandahar Home is a home in every sense of the word.
Together we make a lasting difference.
