Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust
Community Health Service
Description
The Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust (formerly the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust) was formed by a group of Wanaka residents to develop palliative and respite care in the Upper Clutha for the benefit of those suffering from terminal illnesses.
The Trust’s concept is to provide facilities and support for the terminally ill that is not provided by other parties in the Upper Clutha. The Trust works alongside other service providers such as the Otago Community Hospice, the Cancer Society, GP's, Aged Care providers etc to augment what is available to Upper Clutha residents.
On September 30, 2016, the Trust opened its Stina Mooyman Palliative & Respite Care Suite in the Aspiring Enliven Care Centre on Cardrona Valley Road in Wanaka, adjacent to the Wanaka Medical Centre.
The UCPCT is a registered charity with the Charities Commission number CC49439
The UCPCT is an independent Upper Clutha organisation and all funds raised are used to the benefit of the Upper Clutha community. Although it works with the Otago Community Hospice (OCH) to support terminally ill patients in the Upper Clutha, the UCPCT is not part of the OCH and is not affiliated with Hospice NZ.

THE STINA MOOYMAN PALLIATIVE & RESPITE CARE SUITE, WANAKA The Stina Mooyman Palliative & Respite Care Suite is owned and supported by the Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust (UCPCT) to serve the Upper Clutha Community. It is available for use by those who need palliative care in the Upper Clutha region, subject to funding arrangements and occupancy. The Suite is located within the Aspiring Enliven Care Centre on Cardrona Valley Road, Wanaka, adjacent to the Wanaka Medical Centre. It is operated and serviced day-to-day by Presbyterian Support Otago, who are the operators of the Aspiring Enliven facility. The Suite currently comprises: One patient room with en-suite bathroom, and with a small patio outside the bedroom. A family room connected to the patient bedroom, with a small kitchen/eating area, a sitting area and a patio outside the sitting area. The kitchen is intended for heating up precooked food only. Both the patient room and the family room have TVs and telephones, and the patient room is connected into the Aspiring Enliven call and monitoring systems. The patient room is equipped with a Roho dri-floatation mattress overlay for patients’ comfort, and with pain and suction pumps to support patients. The Suite is designed for patients’ families to be able to stay overnight to be with the patient, and families are welcome to use this facility. The Suite contains recliner chairs and a sofa that converts to a double bed. Linens and bedding are provided. A second patient room connects to the family room, and although not a part of the Suite at this stage, it is likely to be available to the UCPCT if patient demand requires more than one bedroom in the Suite in the future. On a case-by-case basis and when Government support has been exhausted, the Trust may also assist in providing limited funding support (eg. assistance with GP fees) for local terminally ill patients.
