Elder Person Mediation Services

Our mediators provide a specific mediation service to allow Family members faced with having to make difficult decisions come together with one another and professionals to address difficult decisions inherent in the aging process. Rachel Grant, Dani Nicolson and Anja Klinkert facilitate discussion among family members, attorneys and aging adults, bringing in professionals (caregivers, medical, financial as required) to enable them to make appropriate decisions.

Issues regarding the health and safety of a loved aging adult family member may involve legal and financial considerations that can cause significant family tensions. The role of the mediator is to support and assist the elder person and individual family members in arriving at their own solutions while preserving or improving relationships among the family members. Constructive and transparent channels of communication may make the job of an attorney or financial adviser easier and more cost-effective. Through skilled mediation senior adults and their families may gain control of what is important to them and equally support and enhance family relationships in the process. Please contact Anja Klinkert directly by phone or e-mail or meet with her to discuss your specific requirements.

Tailor made services include meeting online utilising VideoSign, Zoom facilities, as well as Skype, WhatsApp, and Facetime etcetera.

If you are in Dunedin or want to meet in person, then mediation is held in a discreet mediation centre set up to enhance and maximise the experience and performance of participants.
