Ageing at Home
— Reimagined
Welcome to RockPool Collective.
Relaxed and regular support for kiwis who enjoy their independence…
From our families to yours.
RockPool connects you with trusted local families (and their kids) to help with everyday tasks, so you can enjoy living in your home and community.
The RockPool Win-Win
-
Older adults maintain independence at home
-
Parents find flexible, kid-friendly, paid work
-
Communities build meaningful connections across generations
-
Extended families enjoy peace of mind
Our RockPool Reps function like extended family, here to help with:
-
From light cleaning, to gardening, meal prep or helping to organise a plumber, we’ll take the stress out of managing your home so that you can relax and enjoy your haven.
-
Our cheerful families can help keep you connected to your loved ones, community and passions. Whether it be your grandchild’s rugby match, a trip to the hairdressers, or band practice - we’re here to make ‘getting there’ just as enjoyable as your destination.
-
We’re here to help you run your life smoothly. We can support with prescription pickups, set you up with online groceries (or go on an outing together), drop off library books, help clean out that back room or patiently help you thrive in a tech-reliant world.
-
Our services are designed to make the every-day more enjoyable and stress-free. Whatever that means for you and your family. It could be taking your dog for a walk with you, playing a competitive game of backgammon, helping you record your memories and adventures, or simply heading out for a cup of tea. You’re in control.

Practical Support Plan
Scheduled weekly visits designed to help maintain independence at home.
Members are matched with a local RockPool Rep to assist with tasks like cleaning, gardening, pet care, and running errands.

Welcome Home
Ease the transition from hospital to home with our supportive packages.
Our RockPool Reps will ensure your home is ready for your return and provide an extra hand to help you get back to your normal self quick-smart.
This package makes an ideal gift for loved ones returning home after a hospital stay.
Rock Pools are small, self-sustaining ecosystems that support diverse life.
Just like these pools, our vision is to foster vibrant intergenerational communities in local neighbourhoods—independent, yet connected across the country.

We're looking for compassionate individuals to join us as RockPool Reps, providing essential support to those who need it in your local community.
As a Rep, you'll help with daily tasks, offer a listening ear, and make a real difference in the lives of those striving to maintain their independence.

RockPool's team of mums are literally a life-saver - the perfect support to fit between the state-provided carers and me actually being there.
