Elizabeth Knox Home & Hospital · A Caring Community
Elizabeth Knox Home & Hospital is a charitable care home in Epsom, Auckland. We offer rest home, hospital, respite and palliative care, and support for younger adults with physical disabilities.
CARE
Care you can trust, day and night
Registered nurses are here day and night. In hospital-level care there is, on average, one staff member for every five residents. A member of the medical team is on site every weekday, and physiotherapy and occupational therapy come at no extra cost.
COMMUNITY
A charity at the heart of Epsom
Knox has been a charitable trust in Epsom for more than 110 years. What we raise goes back into care. Last year, our volunteers gave more than 8,800 hours, most of it spent with our residents, so they see friendly faces beyond the staff roster.
CONNECTION
Family stays part of every day
Families are welcome every day, 10am to 11.30am and 2pm to 8pm. Residents keep doing what matters to them, from tending the garden with the Knox gardeners, to coffee trips to Mission Bay and Devonport. We call our approach The Knox Way.
Our care
Whatever care is needed, it comes with the same warmth, and a team who get to know your family.

Kind words
“All I see are beautiful people everywhere. There is such a feeling of warmth, welcome and peace. My mother feels safe; she understands she is not a forgotten soul.”
