When it comes to helping ageing parents, many families find themselves juggling emotions, logistics, and tough decisions all at once. Whether it’s downsizing from a long-time family home, preparing for a move into more suitable accommodation, or simply keeping up with day-to-day life, the process can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s where compassionate, practical support makes all the difference. At Home Carers, we understand how important it is for older people to feel comfortable, respected, and supported — especially during times of change. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Task Masters, a New Zealand company dedicated to helping people move, declutter, and settle into new spaces with care and efficiency. Together, we share one goal: making transitions smoother for older adults and their families.
About Task Masters
Task Masters specialises in helping people move without the stress. Their motto says it all: “Let us support you to remove the overwhelm and make your move seamless and stress free.” From start to finish, their experienced team manages every detail — packing, organising, coordinating movers, and setting up the new home.

How Task Masters Support Older People
Moving later in life can be an emotional experience. Decades of memories are often tied to the home, and the idea of starting fresh can feel daunting. Task Masters understands this deeply. Their team takes the time to listen, plan, and provide hands-on help that respects each person’s pace and preferences.
They don’t just move boxes — they help move lives forward. Whether assisting with downsizing, preparing a home for sale, or setting up a retirement unit, they make sure each step is handled thoughtfully and efficiently. For older people, this means less stress, less risk of injury, and a smoother transition into their next chapter.
By removing the practical burden, Task Masters allows families to focus on emotional support — sharing memories, making decisions together, and celebrating the milestone instead of worrying about logistics.
How Home Carers Complements Their Work
Once the move is complete, that’s where Home Carers steps in to ensure comfort and continuity of care. Many of our clients reach out during or just after a move — when routines are changing, and reassurance is most needed.
Our carers can help unpack, prepare meals, check on safety around the home, and provide friendly companionship that makes a new environment feel like home. For those recovering from surgery or managing health conditions, our service offers additional peace of mind through regular check-ins, medication reminders, and gentle assistance with daily living.
Together, Task Masters and Home Carers form a complete circle of support — one helping with the transition itself, the other ensuring day-to-day life remains safe, stable, and enjoyable long after the move.
