Testimonials
Testimonials
"RockPool's team of mums are literally a life-saver - the perfect support to fit between the state-provided carers and me actually being there."

“F- visits my father weekly - she is this versatile woman who just makes things happen. She’s like a superhero to us. From cooking big stews that last a couple of days, to helping with paperwork or solving tech issues, Fiona’s presence has transformed his day-to-day life.

She’s become part of our extended family, and the knock-on effect for the rest of us has been huge. It’s not just support for him - it lifts the weight off our shoulders, too.

It’s not just about someone doing the chores - it’s the company, the warmth, the reliability and seeing how a family member is after a visit. RockPool is a part of life for us now.”

Service Description
Our RockPool Reps function like extended family, here to help with:

* Looking after your home
From light cleaning, to gardening, meal prep or helping to organise a plumber, we’ll take the stress out of managing your home so that you can relax and enjoy your haven.

* Getting out & about
Our cheerful families can help keep you connected to your loved ones, community and passions. Whether it be your grandchild’s rugby match, a trip to the hairdressers, or band practice - we’re here to make ‘getting there’ just as enjoyable as your destination.

* Hassle free errands & admin
We’re here to help you run your life smoothly. We can support with prescription pickups, set you up with online groceries (or go on an outing together), drop off library books, help clean out that back room or patiently help you thrive in a tech-reliant world.

* Unlocking a great day
Our services are designed to make the every-day more enjoyable and stress-free. Whatever that means for you and your family. It could be taking your dog for a walk with you, playing a competitive game of backgammon, helping you record your memories and adventures, or simply heading out for a cup of tea. You’re in control.
