Our team of dedicated and skilled professionals provide palliative care and support for people throughout the greater Whanganui community as well as Waverley and Waimarino.
Our services are provided in patients’ own homes or the places they choose to be, meaning our team will come to you, wherever you are.
We also have fully equipped rooms in our beautiful and peaceful facility to provide short-term stays for patients and whānau/family, where needed.
Our patients are usually referred to us through their GP or their specialist, but patients can also self-refer if they meet the criteria for a Hospice referral.

Hospice Whanganui on the Road
When people think of hospice care, they often picture a building. But for Hospice Whanganui, most of our work happens out in the community – in homes, aged-care facilities, and rural areas across our rohe. Every day, our nurses, HCAs, and whānau support team travel wherever they’re needed. This is hospice care in motion: personal, local, and full of aroha.
