At Cranford Hospice our vision is to help people make the most of living and dying within a compassionate community. We provide the best possible palliative care, education, support and advice to the people of Hawke’s Bay – from Mahia in the north, to Takapau in the south.

 

Cranford Hospice aims to meet the emotional, spiritual, social, and physical needs of people through specialist palliative care, grief support and care planning.

 

Our goal is to help people make the most of the time they have left and to enable them to live every moment – whether they are at home, in an aged care facility or have come to us for a short stay in our eight-bed inpatient facility.

A New Home for Cranford

Cranford Hospice has been providing care for people with terminal illnesses since 1982. The Cranford Hospice team currently supports some 200 families spanning from Mahia to Takapau. Despite difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Cyclone Gabrielle, Cranford Hospice remains committed to fulfilling its mission of supporting patients and their families.

 

Recognising the need for updated facilities, to meet the growing demand for palliative care services, Cranford Hospice initiated a $15 million project to construct a new purpose-built home.  A wonderful site was initially found at Chesterhope Station. Unfortunately, these plans have now been foregone due to the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle.

 

The urgency for a new facility is evident, as the community requires a dedicated space for end-of-life care and specialised services for future generations. Cranford Hospice aims to create a state-of-the-art facility that will ensure top-quality palliative care for the people of Hawke’s Bay for years to come. The search for a new home remains ongoing with further work and due diligence underway on our current options. The community will be involved in the final decision at the point that a definite alternative is available. We look forward to further updating you soon regardingthis.

With overwhelming support from the Hawke’s Bay community, the Cranford Hospice Foundation Trustees are dedicated to realising the vision of a new home.  The project has already raised $14.5 million, showcasing the community's generosity and commitment to this cause. Thanks to theR otary Club of Hasting Karamu, who have been a key contributor to this incredible effort. Together, we will build a new home for Cranford Hospice, Hawke’s Bay.
