Community Based Care

For patients requiring support in the community, we provide care through our outpatient clinics and home visits, working in collaboration with the patient’s GP and healthcare teams to deliver coordinated and comprehensive care.

Outpatient clinic

At Tōtara Hospice, our outpatient clinic offers expert, specialised palliative care for patients in South and South-East Auckland who can visit us on-site. We provide consultations, effective symptom management, and thorough follow-up appointments to ensure each patient receives personalised, holistic care that is tailored to their specific needs.

Our clinic is designed to support patients and their whānau throughout their palliative care journey. During visits, patients can explore our welcoming facilities, meet our team, and relax in our beautiful gardens. We aim to make every visit a positive, supportive experience, combining expert care with a comfortable, community-focused environment.

Specialist palliative care at home

At Tōtara Hospice, our home visit service provides expert palliative care to patients in the comfort of their own homes. Our experienced multidisciplinary team offers personalised support for symptom management, psychosocial care, end-of-life care, and rehabilitation, enabling patients to stay at home and continue enjoying their day-to-day activities.

We work closely with each patient’s other healthcare providers, including GPs and specialist teams, to ensure a seamless and co-ordinated care experience. This collaboration allows us to offer comprehensive, holistic care that addresses the patient’s full range of needs, ensuring that all aspects of their palliative care journey are aligned.

This service fits seamlessly into each patient’s care plan, removing the stress of travelling to appointments while ensuring high-quality hospice care at home. Our goal is to provide compassionate, specialist care that enhances comfort, dignity, emotional wellbeing, and continuity of care in familiar surroundings.
