100 years of caring

Who We Are ...

The Elizabeth Knox Home and Hospital is a Charitable Trust located at 10 Ranfurly Road, Epsom, Auckland.

The Trust was established 100 years ago when Mrs Elizabeth Knox died leaving an extremely generous bequest to establish and operate a hospital to care for those in need.

The current facility has 136 beds and provides care across the age continuum - having a long history of providing high quality care for young physically disabled and elders.

Significant planning is underway for redevelopment of the existing facilities on the current site.

A Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance of the Trust with day-to-day operation of services being managed by the professional team.
