COVID update
After reviewing current health guidelines, Hospice Southland management has dropped the signing-in and temperature check requirements for visitors to the IPU and the office, but we ask that people stay at home if sick and do not visit if possible.
Masks and hand sanitiser are available at Hospice Southland for visiters use.
The times that family and friends can visit patients has reverted to the pre-pandemic hours of operation.
All our hospice shops are open and customers do not need to wear a mask.
This will be updated as necessary.
