North Haven Hospice

North Haven Hospice supports the dying, their family and whānau before during and after a death.

We put the dying in charge of their living and help people understand what is happening and what to expect.

Trees of Remembrance – Final Day

Yesterday, our staff volunteers reflected on the joy of seeing our tamariki draw pictures and honour their loved ones. It has been truly special to witness the memories shared and the connections made.

Today marks the final day of our Trees of Remembrance. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed, shared stories, and donated over the past two weeks. Your generosity and support mean so much to us and to our wider community.

Together, we have created a space of love and remembrance. Thank you.

Our Trees of Remembrance continue this week, and we are deeply grateful to our incredible volunteers who have been filling shifts with warmth and dedication.

Throughout the campaign we have welcomed even more organisations, groups, and clubs. The Embroiders Guild, Hikarangi Lions, Bream Bay Retirement Village staff and Daniel Wilkinson Builders have generously given their time.

Their support has made these weeks truly full of joy and remembrance.

Our trees are still standing proudly at Pak’nSave, New World Regent and Mitre 10.

We invite everyone to stop by, write a memory, and add to this growing tapestry of love and reflection.

Our long-awaited Hydrotherapy Bath has arrived at North Haven Hospice, Tikipunga! This a really exciting development and has been funded by the Whangārei Give For Good - North Haven Hospice House Tour amongst other things! Sometimes people we care for at our hospice premises are no longer able to easily get in and out of a bath, to be able to take a moment or more to relax and enjoy the warm water and soft feeling of being afloat. With our wonderful new bath, we now have hoist facilities to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience. Dr Warrick couldn't help but be our first model. ☺️😊

This year, businesses, clubs, and organisations have generously supported our Trees of Remembrance campaign.
Today, Coastal Care were at Pak’nSave, Onerahi Probus spent the day at Mitre 10, and Gallaghers Insurance are at New World Regent.
We’re deeply grateful for their time during this busy season — without their support, and the dedication of our volunteers, the Trees of Remembrance wouldn’t be possible.

The Festival of Christmas Trees at St John's Golden Church, Kensington opened yesterday. Decorated by community groups the event is open daily from 1st-24th December 10am -1pm & 6.30-9.30pm.
This year, we have chosen to highlight the awesome mahi of one our volunteers, Kath. All the booties and hats you will see on our tree have been lovingly hand knitted by Kath. Not only does she give her time in store as a volunteer, but she also creates these pieces for sale in the Whangārei North Haven Hospice shop, with all the funds raised directly impacting our patients and their whānau. Thank you Kath, you're our treasure this Tuesday!

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Whangarei?

North Haven Hospice, Te Korowai Humarie

North Haven Hospice, Te Korowai Humarie, provides specialist palliative care for people living with any life-limiting illness, and support for their families/whanau and carers.

Hospice is about quality of life, helping patients live every moment in whatever way is important to them. Our care is holistic, embracing people’s physical, emotional, social, cultural and spiritual needs.

We are a community resource and there is no charge for our service, which is available to anyone in the entire Whangarei District and the south-east area of Kaipara District including Mangawhai, Maungaturoto, Kaiwaka, Topuni and Oruawharo - a total area of 3150 square-kilometres and with a population of 100,000.

The majority of patients receive our care and support entirely in their homes or place of residence. Others may have a short admission to our In-Patient Unit, mostly for symptom management before returning home. We offer a 24/7 telephone support service and our doctors, specialist nurses, family support team and Te Tumu Manaaki all liaise closely with patients’ GPs, District Nurses and other healthcare providers. We also deliver a palliative care service at Whangarei Hospital.

In the 2018/19 year, we provided care and support for 560 patients aged from 16 to 99, with on-average 120 patients in our care at any one time. Whilst around two thirds of patients had a cancer diagnosis, one-third had other life-limiting illnesses such as heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), renal disease, liver disease, and general neurological disease (i.e.. motor neurone disease).

North Haven Hospice is only partly Government-funded, via Northland DHB. The gap between the DHB funding received and the actual cost to provide the service we do is $1.89 million for the 2019/20 year. This is what we need to fundraise, which works out to over $36,000 every week.

To do this we rely on donations, community fundraising events, business support, grants, bequests, and Hospice Shop revenue. Every dollar that is raised here, stays here, supporting local people facing the end of life and during bereavement, and providing an essential community health service.

We also rely on the incredible contribution by our amazing volunteers who selflessly give their time, skills and knowledge. The majority of volunteers serve at our Hospice Shops in Whangarei’s CBD and Waipu, whilst others are based at the Hospice premises at Tikipunga and perform nursing support duties in our inpatient unit, reception, gardening, Life Reflections patient biography service, Nurturing Touch massage therapy, car valet and patient transport, etc.

To contact us, please phone 09 437 3355, email admin@northhavenhospice.org.nz or visit www.northhavenhospice.org.nz

Our vision:

Our vision recognises that good end-of-life and bereavement care is everyone’s business. We want to champion and support community initiatives that get people thinking and talking about death, dying and bereavement. We also want to encourage people to take some action to support those who are dying, those who are providing care, and those who are grieving.
