In Home Care - Florence Nightingale Agency

At Florence Nightingale Agency, we understand that every individual’s care needs are unique.

Whether you require a helping hand with daily tasks or specialised 24-hour care, our services are tailored to meet the specific needs and aspirations of each kiritaki. Our goal is to support you or your loved one in maintaining independence and quality of life.

We offer free, no-obligation in-home care assessments to learn more about your situation, preferences, and goals. We strive to match you with caregivers who align with your needs and preferences, fostering trust and compatibility throughout your care journey.

You can access our services privately or through funded packages from ACC, the Ministry of Health, your local NASC, or Individualised Funding.

Respite Care

Caring for a loved one is rewarding but can also be demanding. Our respite care services offer dedicated support, giving family caregivers the opportunity to rest and recharge.

No matter the type of support you need, Florence Nightingale Agency is committed to delivering care that is compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to enrich your life. Our aim is to help you live with independence, confidence, and dignity, while fostering meaningful connections with whānau and the wider community.
