Ageing and Living Well with Sue Robertson
Sue and Susan have known each other for over 20 years. During this time, Sue has been Susan’s Citizen Advocate and has supported her to get the good things in life.
One of these good things was a place to call home. Susan lived in a group home for many years, but it wasn’t a place where she felt relaxed or in control. In this presentation, Sue will describe Susan’s steps to move into a place of her own.
In July 2021, just before Susan turned 67, she hosted a PATH plan that drew inspiration from the NZ Ageing Well Strategy. Susan is well on her way to living her best life.
