Rosehaven Hospice is 5-bedroom home set on 4.5 acres of established gardens. We are a non-clinical model of care, that provides advocacy, support, and education to our community, providing a home away from home for respite and end of life care. 

We work in with our local hospital district nursing service, that provides the clinical care for our guests. We are positioned opposite the local hospital, walking distance to both of our doctors' clinics and to our main street. 
We have a team of 70+ volunteers, including 4 death doulas, 1.4 staff and 7 directors that sit on our voluntary board.  

We are a registered not for profit charitable organisation that is funded through philanthropy, donations and bequests and supported by the Mansfield community. 

Our model of care is designed from recognising the service gaps in our local community, having the knowledge of how over stretched our health services are, and looking at ways in which we can work holistically with quality end of life outcomes for everyone.  

Benefits 
-         Acute hospital beds can be freed up, as dying is not a clinical event.

-         All of community can receive quality end of life care in a home like environment.

-         Close proximity to services means services are saving money, decreasing staff time, travel costs, reducing the pressure. 

-         Community / carers are under less stress, are supported, welcome to be with their person 24/7.

-         Guest can continue living until that very last breath, surrounded by the people that matter the most and continuous care from their own health care team. 

Our unique model can be replicated in any community that has the support of the district nursing team, GP's, and of course a community that gets involved.
