At Franklin Community Hospice, we believe the best place for most people at the end of life is home — surrounded by familiar comforts and the people they love.
Every day, our team supports patients and whānau across our community with compassionate specialist palliative care, helping families navigate life’s most challenging moments with dignity, aroha and understanding.
Franklin is one of the fastest-growing communities in New Zealand, and demand for hospice care continues to grow alongside it. This new facility will help ensure local families can continue to receive the support they need for the next 40 years and beyond.
