CaringStay is New Zealand’s first nationwide, non-medical, private-home-based support network. We understand that returning home alone after a hospital stay isn’t always ideal for recovery. Too often, people are left to cope on their own. That’s why we offer a unique alternative: personalised recovery support in our certified private homes—or in a location of your choice.
CaringStay: Supporting Your Path to Recovery
“We’re with you until you’re ready to move forward—independently and with confidence.”
Our service bridges the gap between hospital care and independent living, offering a safe, supportive environment for short-term recuperation.
What is CaringStay?
CaringStay is not a medical care provider. Instead, we offer companionship, emotional support, and nutritious meals in a caring, home-like environment. Our goal is to ease the transition from hospital to home for those who may feel overwhelmed or alone.
Why Choose CaringStay?
Navigating the health system can be challenging. Many people face difficult circumstances with limited support. At CaringStay, we believe that compassionate individuals with the right attitude can make a real difference, by offering genuine care and connection.
