Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services
Description
Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services is a community-driven non-profit organisation in the greater Alberton area of Ekurhuleni, serving Alberton residents and surrounding areas. They are the only Association of Palliative Care Centres (APCC) 5-Star accredited hospice in Gauteng, South Africa. They provide specialist palliative care to both young and old experiencing the impact of life-limiting illness. Since the inception of Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services, we have provided care to approximately 3 800 patients and counselled approximately 35 000 bereaved family members. They have at least 43 volunteers who assist us with fundraising events in order to keep our doors open. They receive very little government funding and rely mostly on donations. Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services currently offers an In-Patient Unit with 8 (eight) rooms and Home-Based Care Services caring for 130+ community patients on a monthly basis. They aim to meet our patient’s physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs, and also to support their families through this experience and bring solace to those grieving the death of a loved one. Their palliative care is offered by a team of doctors, professional palliative-trained nurses, therapists, social workers, spiritual counsellors and volunteers.
