A haven of love and care

Today it offers a comprehensive palliative care service for persons living with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, end stage organ failure, degenerative neurological disorders and HIV/AIDS.

Palliative care is an approach which focuses on improving the quality of life of patients through the prevention and relief of suffering, by means of early identification, impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, and by providing the emotional, physical, psychosocial and spiritual support the patient and their family may require.

Helderberg Hospice aims to provide support and care for patients and their loved ones at a time when it’s most needed. With a long track record, competence, and highly qualified Palliative Care Nursing Consultants, and Palliative Care Social Work Consultants working with the back-up of a 24 hour Palliative Care Support Centre, the hospice staff are well qualified to be called Palliative Care Specialists.

Services offered by the hospice include home based care, a Palliative Care Support Centre, psycho-social support, bereavement counselling and a day hospice.
