Adult Residential Service

The Mount Cargill Trust provides community residential care for adults which allow a person to live in a home like setting within the Dunedin community with access to support up to 24 hours a day. 

Aim

For all adults living with The Mount Cargill Trust to have a meaningful and valued life by choosing the life they wish for themselves and fulfilling their potential as a person.

Adult homes are based in North East Valley and Halfway Bush. 

Adult residential supports provide:

• The development of skills the individual person would like and or need to live as independently as possible within the community.
• A sense of control over one's life through personal choice and aspirations being paramount and respected. 
• Positive health, wellbeing and lifestyle choices. 
• Social and community opportunities and inclusion. 
• Belief in each person's potential.
• A sense of belonging and allowing a person to be confident with their own identity including cultural, sexual and spiritual. 
• Everyone we support has their own unique person centered plan which is designed to support personal preferences, choices and aspirations along with health and behaviour supports relevant to the person. 
• A service that respects and promotes the New Zealand Disability Strategy, the United Nations Convention of the Rights of Person's with Disabilities.
