What if I have a police record?

Question

Accepted Answer

Most people with us are looked after at home including private homes, retirement villages or aged care homes and are able to choose where they die. Some people require closer attention, or their symptoms are harder to manage at home and so they will come in for a short-term stay at our in-patient unit (often called the IPU), at our hospice building in Tikipunga, Whangārei. Generally, people stay between 5 to 7 days and return home when they are ready. Sometimes we provide what is called respite care, allowing carers some time to focus on other matters, knowing their loved ones are well looked after by our team here.
