Care on your terms

Private home care on the Upper North Shore

Private home care means you arrange care directly and begin quickly, with no waiting for government funding. Flexible hours, registered nurse oversight, and a clear rate confirmed before anything starts.

What is private home care?

Private home care is support you arrange and pay for directly, rather than through a government package. It is the quickest way to begin, and it puts you fully in control of how much care you have and when.

For many Upper North Shore families, private care is the natural choice. It can begin within days, it flexes around your life, and it can run alongside a Home Care Package or bridge the wait for one.

Why choose private home care?

Because it is prompt, flexible and entirely yours to shape. No assessment queue, no funding delay, and the freedom to adjust the care whenever circumstances change.

  • Begin within days, not months
  • Choose the hours and days that suit you
  • Keep the same hand-picked carers
  • Adjust the care up or down as needs change
  • A clear hourly rate, confirmed upfront

How much does private home care cost?

It is charged at a clear hourly rate, confirmed in writing before care begins, based on the type of care and the hours you choose. There are no surprises and no hidden fees.

Can private care run alongside a package?

Yes. Many clients use a package for core support and add private hours for extra care, outings or peace of mind. We make combining the two straightforward.
