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.
Our Approach
We take a sensitive cultural approach to our work, respecting the cultural differences, requirements and preferences of all clients. As a certified Home Health Care Service Provider, we encourage a holistic approach to health and work in accordance with the Treaty of Waitangi’s three core principles of protection, partnership and participation. 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:
Looking after our customers better
Supporting and Empowering our staff
Deepening engagement and influence
Underpinning these four strategic goals are two key elements of our responsiveness:
Cultural appropriateness and responsiveness – Applying a holistic approach to health & wellbeing, encompassing the physical, mental, cultural & spiritual dimensions
Innovation – Creating & implementing new ideas & solutions to spearhead growth through a world-class, scalable, operational model
