Chatham Islands Home help & personal care

Finding it hard to manage tasks at home? Support services can make a big difference in daily life. Whether you need help with meal preparation or housework, or personal care like showering or grooming, there are providers available across New Zealand to meet your needs.

You can choose to pay for these services privately or apply for subsidised services. If you’ve been assessed as needing personal care, this is generally funded, regardless of your financial circumstances.

Browse the directory to find local options. Remember: always make sure you check the credentials of any service provider who comes into your home, and ensure a contract is written up that outlines exactly what you will receive and how much it will cost.
