A long-time Support Worker at Pacific Homecare, Violeti has been caring for our customers since 2005. Over the past 20 years, she has shown incredible kindness, professionalism, and dedication in everything she does.
Recently, one of her clients’ daughters shared how deeply she appreciates Violeti’s care for her mum, who lives with dementia and limited mobility. Despite the challenges, Violeti brings joy into their home every day through her smile, laughter, and gentle care, earning the family’s complete trust and admiration.
Our Board recently met in Napier for their Mid-Year Retreat. An opportunity to connect, reflect, and plan for the future.
Key discussions included strengthening AI capability, developing an AI governance policy, enhancing strategic reporting frameworks, and exploring ways to sustain and enhance the services we provide.
The retreat was both inspiring and productive - a great reminder of the shared vision and teamwork driving Pacific Homecare forward 💙

Pacific Homecare was established in 1988 and was originally known as Kuki Airani Aorangi Pakari Trust. It was run by two women who answered a need for homecare services for the Pacific Island elderly people in the local Otara community. They raised funds by making and selling tivaivai (Cook Island bedspreads).
The group grew as they responded to the demand of the diverse Pacific cultures, elderly and disabled in the Counties Manukau region.
In 1995 Kuki Airani Aorangi Pakari Trust changed its name to Pacific Island Home Care Services Trust. Pacific Island Home Care Services Trust became a Health
Provider affiliated to and funded by the Counties Manukau District Health Board (CMDHB), the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC).
In April 2011 Pacific Island Home Care Services Trust rebranded and changed our name to Pacific Homecare.

We apply business structure and best practice in order to fully meet the needs of our clients. To continue to add value in the lives of those we serve, we aim to always keep pace with change. We continually look to improve the way we do things to ensure clients are happy and well cared for. The key areas of focus for our strategic plan are:
