Description

Pacific Homecare is a Charitable Trust organisation providing home-based health services to the Elderly and Disabled community who wish to stay living at home, but who need assistance. We also provide Whānau Ora Family Services for the more vulnerable families in our communities. Our vision is healthier communities in which our people enjoy a better quality of life.

With more than 30 years of experience serving the community, we strive to serve all customers with love, care and professionalism. We take a sensitive cultural approach to our work, respecting the cultural differences, requirements and preferences of all customers.
