Helping locals to live and leave well

Nelson Tasman Hospice is appealing to the Golden Bay community to help fund the purchase of equipment essential for in-home care.

The hospice provides palliative care for people of all ages facing a life-limiting condition, and works with whānau and caregivers, so patients can live the way they choose in the time they have left.

Lead provider Golden Bay Community Health (GBCH), in collaboration with Nelson Tasman Hospice (NTH), currently have six Golden Bay residents to whom they are providing monthly in-home palliative care.

Such caring, dignified support and services can make an enormous difference to patients and their loved ones. Pete Greer, whose partner Kris Campbell died at their Ōnekakā home in December 2021, says GBCH and NTH provided invaluable support. “Our experience with the local nursing staff and with the hospice doctor was truly wonderful. Honesty, compassion, wisdom, and gentle humour are some words that spring to mind. Nursing equipment that miraculously appeared, enough to furnish a mini ward, made caring for Kris so much easier. All came from hospice.” Pete pays special tribute to one helper. “We got to the stage of eagerly awaiting nurse Monika’s visits and truly appreciated the support and direction she gave us.”

Although NTH services are free, only 45 per cent of operating costs are funded by Te Whatu Ora, which leaves an annual fundraising target of $3.5 million. With this in mind, Pete requested donations in lieu of flowers at Kris’s funeral. “Our target was to purchase a light wheelchair,” says Pete. In fact, two were purchased and have been in use in the Bay ever since.

In response to the serious lack of equipment available in the Bay, the GBCH nursing team has identified items that are that are urgently required, specifically: a syringe driver (which allows patients to self-manage their pain medication, providing fast pain relief as required), and a medical transport bed (for in-home care). The cost for this equipment is estimated at around $7,000 and NTH hopes to raise this sum in the Bay over the next three weeks.

Money is already flowing in; Pete has topped up the Kris Campbell Memorial Fund to $1,000, to help kickstart the campaign, while TradeZone and Waitapu Engineering have made a $1,000 donation, and the Golden Bay Lions have contributed $2,850 to the cause.

To make a donation:

At the Village Market: TradeZone and Waitapu Engineering are holding a sausage sizzle tomorrow, with all proceeds going to the cause.

At local businesses: donation boxes are located at NBS, Hammer Hardware, Tākaka Hospice Shop, Golden Bay Pharmacy, TradeZone, Collingwood Tavern, The Wholemeal Café, Molly B’s, FreshChoice.

Online at: https://www.nelsonhospice.org.nz/supporthospice/donate-funds and reference “Golden Bay” when making your donation.

Over the next few weeks, further stories about Golden Bay locals and their connection with the hospice will appear on social media, and the NTH website: www.nelsonhospice.org.nz.
