Progress on New Hospice Build

In early 2025, Nurse Maude broke ground on a new hospice that will ensure people in Canterbury can continue to access specialist palliative care in a comfortable environment.

This facility has been designed specifically for hospice care by Sheppard and Rout Architects with the site being managed by Cook Brothers Construction.  It's due to open in 2026.


We invite you to revisit this page from time-to-time. Every few weeks, we capture a new aerial image of the build in progress. From an empty section to a place of comfort, dignity, and peace for those nearing the end of life.

A New Hospice for Canterbury


Our new hospice has been designed to go above and beyond, creating a place that feels like home where patients and their whānau can find comfort, dignity, and peace. More than a building, it is a promise of care, compassion, and connection for everyone who comes through its doors.
