Waipuna Hospice provides free care for terminally ill patients and their families, within the community, in Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty District. We also provide care in the 12 bed inpatient unit. Our services are provided seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Hospice staff and volunteers care for each person as an individual and take into account the person's physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. In addition to palliative care nursing and specialist medical support, we provide respite care, practical support such as meal preparation, loan equipment,bereavement support and a chaplaincy service.
During the course of a year, the hospice recieves approximately 400 new patient referrals; this is in addition to our ongoing case load of existing patients.
