🤝 Collaborating for Compassionate Care: Partnering with Hospice for Palliative-Level Support

25.3.2025

At Kate McLean Homecare, we know that truly exceptional palliative care is never delivered in isolation — it’s the result of a strong, multidisciplinary approach.That’s why we’re proud to collaborate closely with local hospices and healthcare professionals across Auckland. Together, we bring together the skills and expertise of nurses, caregivers, hospice specialists, GPs, social workers, and whānau to create a seamless, person-centred support system.

Why is collaboration so important in palliative care?

✨ It ensures every aspect of a client’s well-being — physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural — is supported.

✨ It allows for clear, consistent communication between all care providers, avoiding gaps or duplication in care.

✨ It empowers whānau by involving them in care decisions and providing them with the right support.

✨ It delivers the right care, at the right time, by the right people — whether that’s managing symptoms, offering counselling, or practical assistance.

✨ It helps clients stay in the place they feel most comfortable: their own home.

We’re deeply grateful to all our hospice partners and fellow healthcare professionals who share this vision. Collaboration and communication are key to ensuring no one faces this journey alone.Together, we’re stronger. 💜
