**Mō mātou | About Us**
Te Whariki Whakaruruhau is the Te Roopu Taurima model of service that recognises the intrinsic value and relationship of Tāngata (Care recipient), their whanau (Family) and kaimahi (Staff). As a kaupapa Maori service we strive to make a difference in the lives of Tāngata by surrounding them with a caring environment based on Maori values of respect and whanau. The service appeals to a wide range of people of different ethnicities because of Te Roopu Taurima’s philosophy of accepting and valuing all cultural practices.
