Community hospice Tui House has been open for 18 months and Harbour Hospice is inviting the community to come and see how the building is improving the lives of patients and families dealing with life-threatening illness.
An Open Morning will be held at Tui House in Morrison Drive, Warkworth, from 10am to noon on Wednesday, May 15. Everyone is welcome to pop in, have a cup of tea and a muffin, and look around the building. Staff will be on hand to talk about hospice services and answer questions.
Tui House was built with donations from local individuals, businesses and trusts. The facility has enabled Hospice to offer more services for people needing support at any stage of their illness, including day programmes, daytime respite care and massage therapy.
The building was designed to offer a friendly ‘face’ and encourage people to approach hospice earlier in their diagnosis. Nursing team leader Paula Garner says there has been a marked increase in people walking in ‘off the street’ to ask about hospice care, either for themselves or a loved one.
