Agewell Health promotion for older people in New Zealand

Kia Ora, Welcome to Agewell

Our Philosophy

Welcome to our website promoting healthy ageing throughout New Zealand.  This website is administered by and funded by the Ministry of Health.  

Age Concern is a not-for-profit, charitable organisation, dedicated to promoting quality of life and well-being of older people, and advocating positive healthy ageing for people of all ages. 

Staying healthy is a subject that is important to people of all ages, so a lot of the ideas and suggestions offered are relevant for everybody, but we have tried to include areas that may be of interest mainly to older people.  

The website's target browsers are Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator 4.0 and above. If you need to make the print larger, select View on the toolbar, text size, and then the size you need.

Our Website

Much has been written and said already about staying healthy as we age, so our Website is designed to direct you to material that may be helpful.  We have not attempted to rewrite the manuals, but have provided brief information and in web jargon have designed this website as a "blog".  This is  short for web log which means a site pointing to other interesting sites on a subject.

As you find your way around this site you will see words that are underlined and coloured.  By left clicking once with your mouse pointer on these words you will be taken through to the destination they refer to.
