From client XXXXX XXXXXXXX: Now XXXXX just wouldn’t stop thanking Alis for sending XXX there on Thursday (yesterday).
Her words were “XXX was phenomenal” She was so impressed with her, XXX was very considerate and understanding, did a thorough job and was so amazing.

A nice way to finish the day
I received a phone call from XXXXXXX – She had XXX in today and called to say what an amazing job she did and she was really grateful for the effort she went to, if you could please pass on to XXX

Service Description
As our bodies age, we can’t always do everything we’d like - but that doesn’t mean we have to lose our independence. Ali’s Home Healthcare can provide home and personal support at a level that suits your current needs and allows you to continue leading an enjoyable lifestyle.

Our staff are respectful, culturally aware, and will take the time to go the extra mile - whether that’s helping you unpack the shopping, or topping up your firewood for the night. They’ll show kindness and positivity, and they’ll remember how you take your tea!

Some examples of ways we care for older people:

Popping in to help with small daily tasks - like dressing, taking medication, or getting the house ready for the day.

Transport and outings - like accompanying you to the supermarket or driving you to and from your bowls game or book club.

Sleepover service - to give you the peace of mind that someone will be there if anything should happen during the night.

Often, clients may not wish to enter residential living; in-the-home care means they are able to stay in their homes, retain their independence, and live the life they want.

Many of our clients need a helping hand with daily tasks due to physical or learning disabilities. We also provide support for older people who wish to remain in their own homes but need support with daily tasks.

We also provide in-home healthcare for people with progressive illnesses (MS, Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington's) and ensure the level of the care supplied is developed and is kept appropriate for the current state of the condition.

In August 2024 we celebrated our staff who have been working at Ali's, providing exceptional care and support to our clients. We celebrated with an afternoon tea for our 36 long-term employees. We enjoyed a relaxed afternoon chatting with colleagues, our Founders, and Kelly our current owner. Followed by presentations for staff who have served 5, 10 and 15 years with us. Thank you all have been so dedicated.

More recently we have implemented a new staff benefit where every staff goes into a draw to win petrol vouchers for time worked on a particular day, just one more way to show your carers how valued they are.

At Ali's, we CARE.  We not only pride ourselves on looking after our clients but also our staff and this year we introduced Ali's CARE Penapena Friendly Society.  This is like a Christmas savings club for the staff.  It means they will have support from the society for emergencies and enable them to save through the year.

Penapena is a Māori word meaning, to cherish, look after, save up, and store.  I believe this means we will be able to support ourselves and our whanau better in the coming years with the potential recession going to affect us all in different ways.

This is just some of the ways Ali's makes a difference.
