About Franklin Hospice

Franklin Hospice's services to patients with life-limiting illness and their family and whanau are free.
Franklin Hospice provides support to patients with life-limiting illness in their own homes or in residential care facilities. We do not operate an in-patient unit.
That means our team of health professionals each drive hundreds of kilometers weekly because the Franklin Hospice services are available across one of the largest geographic areas of any hospice in New Zealand.
Our palliative care team are specialist trained health professionals with more than 130 years of specialist nursing experience between them.
By 2028 Franklin Hospice will need to care for more than twice the patient numbers than we first forecast in 2015. Refer to the full set of facts here
In order to keep providing our vital services, we must raise more than 50% of our funding from the community (see here the ways we do that and how you can help).
We at Franklin Hospice take the threat of COVID-19 very seriously and have taken the necessary precautions to protect our patients, their families and our staff. All Franklin Hospice staff have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
