Lake Taupō Hospice provides free specialist palliative care to anyone with a progressive, life-limiting illness in Taupō, Tūrangi and the surrounding areas.
Hospice care is about adding life to days, not just days to life.
Hospice care is about supporting the whole person – which includes the support of whanau and friends. We care for all needs with compassion and dignity, from physical and emotional, to social, cultural, and spiritual.
What we take with us, and what we leave behind
Our lives are connected in ways we don't always see. This short film is a reflection on community, generosity, compassion, and the journey we all share.
Peace of Mind Planner
What I Want You to Know When I Go is a practical planner that helps you record your wishes, important information, and the details your loved ones may need in the future. While it isn't a legal document or a replacement for a Will, it can provide clarity and peace of mind when it matters most.
The planner is available from Taupō Paper Plus, Quality Print, the Lake Taupō Hospice Shop, or on our website here (including NZ-wide shipping).
