Sanctuary; A holy place, a building set aside for worship of the divinity or of one or more
deities, a place of refuge or protection. Seaside Sanctuary was the embodiment of a Sanctuary for Waiheke’s elder population allowing them to remain within the community they had lived in. With the closure of Seaside Sanctuary any elderly person who finds themselves unable to live alone for many reasons, including a fractured hip from a fall, has to move to a rest home in Auckland. This is the reality of life on Waiheke Island.
