“Age with Grace, In Your Own Space”
Helping seniors embrace the golden years at home with all the essential information for independent living.
Supporting Independent Living
At Silvercare we are committed to provide all the necessary information that older individuals require to continue living comfortably and independently in their own homes. Think of each topic as a stepping stone across a stream. Each one, in its own way, helps to create a path towards an independent, fulfilling life at home.
Our kiwi-focused mission is to serve as a hub for our older kiwis who wish to remain living in their own homes. We aim to provide all the necessary resources and knowledge they need to make this a viable choice. Ageing at home has many benefits and is much more fulfilling than moving into a care facility. Our goal is to make living independently in your own home as easy as possible for every Kiwi. If you have any suggestions or areas of improvement please let us know.
Age is how we determine how valuable you are

Benefits of Ageing in Place
Comfort and Familiarity
Seniors can continue living in a familiar environment that they’re comfortable in, surrounded by neighbours, friends and family they know and love. This contributes to a sense of stability and peace.
Independence and Control
Ageing in place allows seniors to maintain their independence and control over their daily routines and lifestyle. They can decide when to eat, sleep, socialize, and engage in hobbies.
Cost Effective
Typically, ageing in place is more cost-effective than moving to a care facility. Home modifications and in-home care is generally less expensive than the costs associated with institutional care.
Preservation of Personal Belongings
Seniors can continue to live with their cherished belongings and memories. They don’t need to worry about downsizing or parting with treasured items.
Emotional Well-being
Being able to stay in a familiar environment will have a positive impact on seniors’ emotional well-being. It will reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of displacement that often come with moving to a new place.
Maintaining Relationships
Staying at home can make it easier for individuals to maintain relationships with neighbors, friends, and family members. Frequent visits can be more feasible in a personal home environment.

Why Silvercare Is Different: A Unique Focus on Ageing in Place
This website stands out with its singular, unwavering focus: empowering Kiwi seniors to live independently and comfortably in their own homes.
While many platforms discuss a broad spectrum of retirement living options, including rest home living, we’ve chosen to concentrate on one aspect – ageing in place. We believe that many older Kiwis want to spend their golden years in the comfort of their own homes, amidst familiar surroundings and cherished memories.
Instead of overwhelming our users with information on every conceivable retirement scenario, Silvercare strives to deliver comprehensive, targeted resources that specifically address the challenges and opportunities of ageing in place. We offer insights on home and garden layouts, home care options, government support, social engagement, and many more facets of independent living.
