We tailor a flexible plan around your parent’s needs, lifestyle, and preferences — so the care truly fits them (and can evolve over time).

What People Are Saying About Us
Our Wall of Love
“A massive “Thank you” to you, and your team, for all your care and support of Pat over these last few years. It made a world of difference to Pat to be able to get out and about and engage in conversation with people whose company she enjoyed. It was also very reassuring for me, and the family, knowing your team was on the ground, especially during the unexpected hospital admissions when the carers would go above and beyond to help Pat through the admission process and ensure she had what she needed.”
Pip - Client
Our parents received exceptional care over a 6 month period, so that we were able to keep them living independently in their home at a time when they were struggling with declining health and dementia. The Assistants were extremely caring and kind and went above and beyond to make sure our parents were well looked after.”
Sarah, Helen, Anne & Lawrence Kimberley - Client
“I am profoundly grateful for the care my brother has received, and have no doubt that their expertise has extended the time my brother has been able to remain in his own home. All these services have been undertaken with persistent patience, courtesy, and good humour. All the carers have been unfailingly kind, and respectful of my brother, often under very trying circumstances. I recommend this service without reservation, and am happy to be contacted independently at any stage.”

FAQ
What home care services are available in Christchurch and Tauranga?
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 outside Christchurch or Tauranga. 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.
