Greendale House
palliative & hospice Care
At Greendale House, previously known as HospiceWits, we believe in embracing every individual's journey through life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses with warmth and understanding. Beyond medical treatments, we see each person as a cherished part of a larger story, woven with love, family, and community. Within the walls of our In-Patient Unit, and through our home-visiting nurses, we offer a comforting sanctuary where life is celebrated, memories are made, and hearts find solace.

Building Updates
While we prepare to build our new facility in Upper Houghton, our Inpatient Unit at 50 Second Avenue, Houghton Estate, continues to operate without any disruptions.
Orange Grove
Our Orange Grove Thrift Shop remains open despite the sale of the building. Refurbishments are planned for 2025, and we will eventually move to a smaller, more manageable space as tenants in the Orange Grove building.
