Welcome to Hospice Eastern Bay of Plenty
At Hospice Eastern Bay of Plenty, our mission is to provide compassionate palliative care for our Eastern Bay of Plenty whānau through their final journey.
Referrals
Any health professional can refer someone to Hospice, or you can do a self referral.
If you feel you or a loved one requires Hospice services, have a chat with your GP who can assess if hospice care is the right service for you at this time.
Our highly trained team of clinical nurses who are here to support you, alongside our friendly administration team based at our offices at 39 Goulstone Rd, Whakatāne.
We offer a variety of services to ensure that our patients and their whānau (family) feel they can live every moment while they are in the care of Hospice EBOP.
Our Care
We believe that hospice care should be available to anyone who needs it during the final year of life, helping people make the most of every moment, which means different things to different people.
People with life limiting conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, lung failure, motor neurone disease or dementia can benefit from palliative care. We care for the whole person - not just their physical needs but also their emotional, spiritual, and social needs.
Whilst hospice care is primarily focused on the person on their final journey, services are also available for their whānau both before and after their loved one has died.
Care can be provided in patients' homes or in a place of their choice, throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty - in consultation with their doctor. We cover a large area from Matata to Ruatoki to Te Kaha.
Hospice EBOP is a registered charity and all our services are free to our community. Most of our funding is provided by Te Whatu Ora, however, the support of our community is essential to fund the services that help provide the dignity we all want for ourselves when time is limited. This extra money is achieved through grants, fundraising events, sponsorships, our local Hospice shops and through generous donations and bequests.
