We are dedicated to providing a diverse range of support services to Hospice patients, their families, whānau, and significant others.
Our complimentary support services aim to enhance the wellbeing of both patients and their loved ones throughout their unique journeys. We understand the importance of holistic care and strive to address physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs.

Counselling is a powerful tool for navigating personal, social, or psychological obstacles, and our dedicated team is here to guide you through. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, stress, or simply need someone to talk to, our counsellors are ready to listen and assist.
