Overview

Hopewell Hospice is a charitable, dedicated palliative care facility servicing the Gold Coast and surrounding regions. Should you or your loved one decide to stay at Hopewell Hospice, we’ll respect your right to decide on your treatment and care. We welcome and respect all religious and spiritual beliefs. Any faith or no faith at all, you’re welcome here at Hopewell Hospice. 

 

History

Hopewell Hospice was founded by Deirdre Hanna and Rev. Dr Ian Mavor in 2005 providing a much-needed place of hospitality and compassionate care for people on the Gold Coast, at the end stage of life’s journey. Wesley Mission Queensland took on the service in 2018, with a shared vision and commitment of faith, care and support. Deidre and Ian’s legacy continues to live on through the Ian Mavor Foundation, producing resources for children and their families who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

Our services

We understand how difficult it is to care for a dying family member. There’s so much uncertainty and it is a very physical and emotionally draining task. Our services can alleviate some of this strain, allowing carers to do what’s needed – spend quality time with their loved ones.

 

We have eight rooms at our peaceful home in Arundel. Our staff provide 24-hour on-site nursing, ancillary services and accommodation for anyone with life-limiting illnesses at the end stage of life. We also offer a range of support services for families and loved ones.

Counselling is offered to all our clients, as well as their family and loved ones. Our counsellors are well trained in all grief and loss issues. We offer individual sessions (either face-to-face or over the phone) or in a group support setting. If there are difficulties surrounding the relationship and a person has died, you may need additional support which is available through The Hopewell Centre. 

It’s important to note, even after your loved one has died, we’ll continue to support you with our services. Our active bereavement support is available to all.

Receiving palliative care at home means that our patients are close to their belongings and memories, all while receiving the best care and support. Our program provides adults with holistic palliative care through the coordination of nursing, pastoral care and social support.  Find out more here. 

Nestled amongst the greenery and tranquility, our experienced staff offer a centre-based day respite program at Living Well House. To find out more, visit our Living Well House page.  

What are the costs?

Hopewell Hospice is subsidised by the Queensland Government, meaning our services are readily accessible for all. We're a registered private hospital. If you have eligible private health insurance, we will bill your health fund directly for your stay. You can read more about our fees at our informed financial consent policy here.
