Is it true that once you go to a hospice you are unlikely to leave?
No. Many patients spend a few days in the hospice In-patient Unit for symptom management or respite care to give caregivers a much needed break. They then return to their homes where their care is continued. Hospice palliative care does not have to be provided in a hospice. It is often provided in a person's own home.

The vision statement for the hospice is ‘Making the Most of Life’.

The mission statement is ‘Hospice palliative care of a recognised standard, is provided to all terminally ill patients and their families/whanau in the Marlborough Region’.
