Services

 

Our palliative care service is provided for free, in the patients’ home or any place of their choosing.

 

This includes:

• 24/7 nursing phone support and advice,

• Coordination of care in collaboration with GPs and other healthcare providers,

• Coordination of home help and personal cares,

• Coordination of admission to funded palliative care beds at Golden Pond.

​

We support the patients’ family/whanau with support visits for social work assistance and counselling, grief and bereavement counselling and a grief support group who meet fortnightly at our Goulstone Rd office.

 

Our Volunteer Chaplain can provide Spiritual support.

 

​

Referrals

​

A referral to our service is usually made by a GP.

​

If you feel you or a family member 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 services are delivered by a highly trained team of clinical nurses who are supported by an administration team based at our offices at 39 Goulstone Rd, Whakatane.

 

We offer a variety of services to ensure that our patients and their family/whanau feel fully supported while they are in the care of Hospice EBOP.
