Shared Care
We know that we can’t do everything. What is often best for a patient and family is having another service having the key role. We then work with them, such as District Nurses or Maori Health providers, to coordinate and provide what is needed.
North Haven Hospice also works with the regional Hospice services based in Dargaville, Kerikeri and Kaitaia. This may mean someone comes into North Haven Hospice for a short time, then is transferred back home again.
We share what we know with whoever needs to know, so that the person, as much as possible, can be where they want to be (and that is usually at home).
