Introduction to definitions, key terms and concepts

Every sector, industry, organisation or group seems to have its own jargon and while it operates as a short cut for those ‘in the know’ its hard for others to understand. Eldernet help to demystify the language and concepts commonly referred to in New Zealand so you can quickly ‘come up to speed’ and be better informed about the definitions, key terms and concepts used in the older persons sector.  Find key terms and definitions here.

Knowledge is power. Recharge your power bank, be informed and take control of your situation.  Find more information on Eldernet's Knowledge Lab.
