Fare-well [Old English] “To journey well”

Poroporoaki:
Any speech, song or poetry given as a sending off or farewell - both to the living and the dying

For worn out carers to relax and have some respite.
For families to come to terms with a terminal diagnosis
For time out for grieving with support
For surgery recovery
As an Assisted Dying Unit for you and your whānau to build memories before and including the final day.
