North Haven Hospice supports you where you live, with our community nurses and family support team travelling across the region to care for the dying in our community. Many people are surprised to know 95% of hospice care and support is provided in people's own homes.

Our communities of care stretch from Hūkerenui and Whangaruru in the north to Ōruawharo, Topuni, and Maungaturoto, and east to Mangawhai and Kaiwaka in the south. Wherever you live within this area, rural or urban, island or beach, our services are available free of charge.

Our IPU premises in Tikipunga are also available for recommended patients from all over Te Tai Tokerau Northland as North Haven Hospice teams work closely with Kaipara, Mid-North and Kaitaia Hospices.

We need your help to keep all hospice care free of charge. Learn more about supporting North Haven Hospice on our website: https://www.northhavenhospice.org.nz/donate

Having lost the Friday Challenge on More FM Northland 91.6 , Toast had to become a live mannequin in the North Haven Hospice shop window!

Of course, we saw it as the perfect excuse to show off one of the gorgeous ballgowns we currently have in store. Because if you’re going to be on display, you might as well look fabulous!

And whilst Toast was an absolute treasure, we've got more treasures instore on the corner of John and Robert street, Whangārei! From stunning ballgowns, to sparkly accessories, shoes and bags, we've got all the finishing touches needed to make ball season extra special.

Our thoughts are with everyone in our community as Cyclone Vaianu approaches. We know weather events like this can be unsettling, and your safety and wellbeing are our priority.

Important update:
Our Waipu shop will be closed this Sunday to keep our community, staff, and volunteers safe.

Our emergency plans are in place, and we are monitoring conditions closely. We will continue to keep all patients, whānau, staff and volunteers informed as the situation unfolds.

Please take care, follow official weather advice, and check in on whānau and neighbours where possible. Thank you for your understanding and kindness during this time.

North Haven Hospice is grateful for every review and story shared with us. It helps us share why and how our care is so valued by those who need it, and their friends, family and whānau. Whether is a simple thank you, shared happenings, a volunteer's feelings or an expression of relief, hearing from those who have personally experienced hospice is always deeply moving, and their words remind us why we do what we do.
We also share some of these stories in our quarterly newsletter. If you'd like to receive the North Haven Hospice news and updates, sign up online here https://www.northhavenhospice.org.nz/contact-us

Many people think hospice care only begins in the final days, but in reality, every timeline of care is personal.

North Haven Hospice can support people much earlier than many realise, providing care focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for months - and in some cases, years.

Our services are provided at no cost to those who need them, but we rely on the support of our community to continue caring for the dying and their carers and whānau.

If you’d like to help continue this care for those that need it the most, please consider making a donation today: https://www.northhavenhospice.org.nz/donate

The weather might be gloomy, but we’ve got it covered! Gorgeous lamps to glow by, snuggly onesies to keep you warm, and kettles and china waiting for the perfect cuppa, there's something for everyone at our Whangārei shop on the corner of James and Robert street.

When Whangārei businesses back North Haven Hospice care, our whole community benefits.
