Tauranga Electorate's Aged Care Challenge

Future Solutions for the Tauranga Electorate's Aged Care Challenge

Potential Solutions

1. Create a Targeted Aged Care Infrastructure Fund

Issue

Tauranga already has a substantial aged residential care footprint. The challenge is ensuring existing facilities can refurbish, redevelop, expand and modernise before demographic growth outpaces current capacity.

Potential actions

• establish a national Aged Residential Care (ARC) Infrastructure Fund

• support refurbishment, redevelopment and replacement of ageing facilities

• prioritise dementia-capable, psychogeriatric and higher-acuity environments

• support expansion of capacity ahead of projected demographic demand

• recognise aged residential care as health infrastructure rather than residential property

• support investment in recovery, rehabilitation and transitional environments

Potential impact

Builds future capacity before shortages emerge and protects hospital flow as the population ages.
