| Without care in the home many people would have no option but to move into residental care. For over 15 years, Homecare Services has supported people in their own homes, so that they can continue to live independently. Our services are certified to New Zealand Home and Community Sector Standards, and staff undergo continuous training and supervision to ensure that the highest standard of care is maintained. |

Homecare Services can be funded by ACC, the Ministry of Health or District Health Board; or through private means, including health insurance.
