Far North Community Hospice

Far North Community Hospice provide specialist in-home palliative care—free of charge—for people living with a life-limiting illness across the Far North region of New Zealand. Our focus is on helping patients live well for as long as possible, offering compassionate end-of-life care and support for whānau in the comfort of their own homes.
Our hospice services are available throughout the Far North, from Mitimiti in North Hokianga to Taupō Bay, Cape Reinga, and everywhere in between.
The service operates from (Dampney House) Matthews Avenue in Kaitāia. And is suppported by our two Op Shops in Kaitāia and Coopers Beach.
On staff are a small team of nurses providing pain and symptom management, Family Support Co-ordinator (providing bereavement support), a Life Review Service, Complimentary Therapy for whānau, and a committed group of volunteers.
Our team work in collaboration with other health professionals (such as the GPs, Social Workers, Hospital staff, and other Multi-disciplinary health professionals). The team blend their strengths together to anticipate and meet the needs of the patient and family facing a terminal illness.
