A proud legacy of care and community
Our roots trace back to supporting children in need. In the early 1950s, PSC expanded into elder care, opening its first rest home in Island Bay, Wellington in 1951. What began as ‘Services for the Elderly’ became Enliven in 2008 – today one of New Zealand’s most trusted aged care and retirement village providers, with 14 care homes and 9 retirement villages.
In 1976, the Wellington Counselling Centre was established and later became Family Works. Since then, we’ve evolved from children’s homes to a modern, multi-disciplinary social services provider supporting the wellbeing of families, parents, and communities.
We continue to grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of Aotearoa.
Part of something bigger
PSC is one of seven autonomous regions that form Presbyterian Support New Zealand. While we operate independently from the Presbyterian Church, our name reflects our proud heritage and the shared values that guide us.
We are here to uplift lives, empower communities and ensure every person feels seen, supported and valued.
