Finding it difficult to do things around the home? Needing some extra support but not sure where to start? Getting support when you need it can make a world of difference to your day-to-day life.

There are a wide range of services available to help keep you safe and well in your own home. Perhaps you need help with meal preparation or grocery shopping? Or maybe you require assistance with housework and cleaning around the home? There are home support providers across the country to suit individual needs.

If you require personal care such as showering, personal grooming, toileting, nurse input and support for a carer (if you have one), there are plenty of service providers to choose from – and if you’ve been assessed as needing personal care, this is generally funded regardless of your financial circumstances.

There are many home support service providers in New Zealand, from larger nationwide ones to smaller, locally owned operators. You can choose to pay for these services privately, or you may be eligible to receive subsidised services – so don’t be put off by the imagined price tag, as home help services may be more affordable than you think.

Browse the directory to find options in your region. 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 it will cost.
