 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to sincerely thank Home Carers for the wonderful support I received, especially from my carer, Shienel. The care provided was reliable, kind, and professional—nothing was ever too much trouble. Her support made a significant difference to my recovery during those important first two weeks and helped relieve pressure on my family. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Home Carers. Thank you to Paul and the team. Kind regards, Shirley

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Home Carers supported our family during a very challenging time as our loved one’s dementia progressed. They provided care at our retirement village apartment when things became difficult to manage, and also helped guide us through the transition into the villages residential care. Their support made the whole process feel much calmer and more manageable. The carers were compassionate and professional, and communication was always clear and reassuring. We’re very grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to other families going through a similar situation.

Paul was very efficient and obliging in organising care for my husband while I was on holiday. Rosa was kind, reliable, friendly and gave me real peace of mind. Thank you.

Our carer Rachel was wonderful, friendly, kind and helpful and I could relax, knowing that he was being safely looked after.  Thank you Rachel, I'm sure we will need you again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have 2 different carers provided  by Home care who stay over night 9-7  seven nights a week and do 3 day  shifts as well to allow me some time to myself as my husband cannot be left alone. The dedication ,and empathy these women have showed to our family and particularly my husband who has Parkinson’s which is leading to dementia is outstanding. They will do his exercises with him take him for walks,read to him, play brain games or simply let him sleep. They give him his meal if reguired, medication and do house hold chores were needed but it is mainly the companionship and support that is so good for us both.The great reward is seeing him respond with a big smile and welcome them so warmly- like old friends or one of the family. It is a truely wonderful service and I would not be able to keep him at home if it weren’t for this service .

FAQ

What home care services are available in New Zealand?

We specialise in higher-level in-home care for older people, including dementia care, respite care, post-hospital recovery, and 24/7 care at home. Our services are designed for families who need reliable, professional support during more complex or demanding situations — not just basic help around the house.

How quickly can care be arranged?

In many cases, we can arrange care within 24–48 hours, especially for urgent situations such as hospital discharge or when a parent’s condition suddenly changes. We prioritise fast, responsive support so your family isn’t left waiting when care is needed most.

Can you help after a hospital stay or surgery?

Yes — post-hospital support is one of our core services. We help your parent recover safely at home with assistance for mobility, personal care, medication routines, and daily activities. This reduces the risk of falls, complications, and hospital readmission.

What is respite care and how does it work?

Respite care gives family members a break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive high-quality support. This can be arranged for a few days, a few weeks, or longer — whether planned in advance or needed urgently.

What does 24/7 home care involve?

Our 24/7 home care service provides continuous, around-the-clock support in your parent’s home. This can include a combination of daytime care and overnight support, ensuring safety, comfort, and consistency at all times — often as an alternative to residential care.

Can you support someone living with dementia?

Absolutely. We provide specialist dementia care at home, supporting individuals at all stages of the condition. Our carers are experienced in managing memory loss, confusion, and behavioural changes, while maintaining a calm, familiar environment that helps your loved one feel safe and supported.

How do you match the right carer?

We carefully match each client with a carer based on their care needs, personality, and experience required — particularly for dementia or post-hospital recovery. A strong relationship is key to successful care, so we take the time to get this right.

Can I arrange care if I live overseas or out of town?

Yes, many of our clients’ families live in various towns across New Zealand. We manage everything on your behalf and provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your parent is safe and well cared for, even from a distance.

How much does private home care cost?

The cost depends on the level of care required, particularly for 24/7 care or specialised support. We provide clear, upfront pricing after an initial discussion, so you understand exactly what’s involved — with no hidden surprises.

Is home care better than a rest home?

For many families, care at home offers greater comfort, independence, and personal attention. It allows your parent to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving one-on-one support, which can be especially beneficial for those with dementia or recovering from hospital stays.

What happens next if I want to get started?

Simply get in touch with us. We’ll have a quick conversation to understand your situation, arrange an in-home assessment, and recommend the right level of care. From there, we can begin organising support quickly.
