New Zealand Health Group (NZHG) is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Alzheimers New Zealand. We are very proud to be announcing this new partnership today, on 2025 United Nations International Day of Older Persons and during World Alzheimers Month. This partnership expands NZHG’s ongoing commitment to support those New Zealanders living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, now and in the future.

About 83,000 people are living with dementia across New Zealand and this number is expected to increase to almost 170,000 by 2050. Today, one in four people will die with dementia, and the prevalence of this condition is increasing faster among Māori, Pacific, and Asian peoples. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, which affects around two-thirds of people with dementia.

This partnership will be realised through NZHG’s Geneva Healthcare brand, which currently supports many people in their own homes who live with dementia. 

“New Zealand Health Group is committed to the goal of helping New Zealanders live their best lives in their own homes and communities,” says New Zealand Health Group Chief Executive Mike Peters. “It is a privilege to partner with Alzheimers New Zealand and support their work ensuring people living with dementia are heard, valued and supported to live well every day.”

“One of NZHG’s core values is kai whanaungatanga – acting in partnership. In a complex and evolving health sector, the ability to work productively and positively with all community health care organisations is increasingly important,” continues Mike Peters. “I am very proud of the Group’s progress and commitment to expanding partnerships and collaboration in local communities.”

Alzheimers NZ is the lead organisation at a national level representing people living with dementia and their whānau. Their role includes raising awareness, providing education through the Dementia Learning Centre, advocating for high quality services and promoting research.

Alzheimers NZ Chief Executive Catherine Hall is delighted to share the new partnership – timely with the recent release of the refreshed Dementia Mate Wareware Action Plan 2026-2031.

“One of the five immediate priority areas to address the dementia challenge over the coming years is improving community dementia support services, so it’s great to partner with an organisation which sees the value in community support,” she says.

“We’re looking forward to our partnership as we work together to strengthen community-based services for older people in New Zealand. We’re urging Government to progressively implement and fund the Action Plan, and pleased to have Geneva Healthcare behind us as we advocate for people and their whānau living with dementia.”

With more than 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry, New Zealand Health Group’s team of skilled health professionals and support workers are trained to provide high-quality care which meets the unique needs of ageing people. Through Geneva Healthcare, HealthCare NZ, Solora, NZCL, Private Care NZ, Freedom Medical Alarms, OTRS and Geneva Wellbeing, we support older people nationwide to live independent lives in the comfort of home.
