Hospice provides Home-Based Palliative Care monthly to some 200 terminally ill Cancer, HIV/AIDS and Motor Neurone Disease patients in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and Kouga region – at no cost to the patient. It believes that no one should be in pain or alone during their last days. Social Workers on the Hospice team not only provide comfort, but play a significant role in facilitating guardianship, fostering, grants and schooling for affected vulnerable children.  Hospice visits the families for a time after the patient has passed on to make sure they are coping and healing.

SFH is a registered NPO, PBO and an exempt micro enterprise that lends 135% to the BBBEE scorecard for procurement recognition and provides Section 18A receipts enabling a tax rebate.   Many have been touched by Hospice which has built a credible record of quality care since 1986.
