Amitabha Hospice Service Trust

Why This Matters

Hospice is not a place, a building, or an institution; but a collection of ideas and attitudes directing the care of the dying and the support of their families. Following the WHO guidelines for palliative care, Amitabha Hospice offers free compassionate companionship from the time a person is diagnosed with a life-limiting illness or condition.

How We Create Change

Amitabha Hospice Service offers free practical home help and compassionate companionship for the elderly and the incurably ill of any age and their families with specially trained and supervised Support Companions throughout the greater Auckland area. Based on the Buddhist principles of love, integrity, equanimity and service, each family member and staff member is accorded equal respect and compassion with regard to their individuality and uniqueness as members of the larger universal human family. Amitabha Hospice Service is dedicated to developing and maintaining the highest quality of compassionate care in cooperation with other professional community services.
