Social support for clients and whānau
Our social worker can help with the many practical issues facing you and your whānau.
Our support includes listening, advocating, advanced care planning, problem-solving, and helping you navigate through support systems and the variety of resources available.
We can support you from the time you are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness through to end-of-life and bereavement support for grieving whānau.
We’ll meet with you and talk about the services we offer, and how we can best meet your needs.
Hospice Wairarapa services are available free of charge to all those with life limiting illness in Wairarapa, including whānau and carers. Our support is provided in a safe, compassionate and supportive environment.
