Support to keep you independent

From cleaning and gardening to managing paperwork and getting to appointments, we're here so you can focus on what matters to you most.

What we help with

Everyday help, the way you'd want it

Pick what's useful to you — there's no minimum and no fuss. Most people start with one or two things and add more when it helps.

  • Domestic cleaning

    Regular home cleaning tailored to your needs, keeping your space comfortable and manageable.

  • Gardening & outdoor care

    Garden maintenance and yard work so you can enjoy your outdoor space without the physical strain.

  • Basic home maintenance

    Minor repairs and maintenance tasks handled by someone you can trust in your home.

  • Paperwork & bill assistance

    Help managing insurance, bills, and administrative tasks so you're not managing it alone.

  • Medical & social transport

    Reliable rides to doctor's appointments, hospital visits, hairdressers, and social outings you enjoy.

  • Sitting & respite care

    A trusted presence at home so your partner or caregiver can take a break when they need it.

Not sure which you need? Tell us what's tricky right now and we'll talk it through — no obligation.

In good hands

A little help goes a long way

Real, everyday support — from getting out and about to a friendly hand with the things that pile up.

Simple from the start

How it works

No assessments to dread, no jargon. Three easy steps and we take it from there.

  1. 1

    Have a friendly chat

    Call or email and tell us what would make life easier. We listen first — there's never any pressure.

  2. 2

    We agree a plan that suits you

    We'll suggest what we can help with, when, and how often — built entirely around you and your routine.

  3. 3

    We turn up and help out

    The same friendly faces, doing the things you asked — and checking in to make sure it's all working for you.

Kind words

From the people we help — and their families

Total Home Help gave my mum back her confidence. The cleaning and gardening help means she can stay in her own home and feel independent again.

The sitting service is a lifesaver. My partner can attend his medical appointments while I know Dad is being looked after with real care and attention.
MichaelHelper & client's partner
Merrick helped me sort out paperwork I'd been putting off for months. He made it simple and wasn't judgmental. It felt like he genuinely wanted to help.
RobertClient · Christchurch
The transport to my hospital visits has been brilliant. No stress, no hassle. Total Home Help treats you like a person, not a job to get through.

Our garden looks amazing. But what really matters is that Mum feels proud of her home again. Total Home Help brought that back.
