Welcome to Goldfields Hospice
You
matter until the very last moments of your life. Having a terminal
illness does not mean that your life is over. It simply means that you
need to cherish every moment that is left. Hospice is an organization that
helps you, through palliative care, in making the most of life. We do
all that we can to improve the quality of life of everyone we serve. We
believe that you should not only be able to die peacefully, and in comfort,
we believe that you should be able to live until you die.
Hospice
provides a 24 hour service to patients and their families. Care is
provided to those in need without regard to ethnic group, religion, colour,
sexuality or ability to pay.
Goldfields Hospice offers palliative, home-based care, in Welkom and surrounding
areas, to patients in the end stages of advanced, progressive disease
(terminally ill), as well as support to their families, so that all may have
the best possible quality of life. Our care continues into the bereavement period.
Palliative Care is an approach that improves the quality of life for patients and their
families facing problems associated with life threatening illness through prevention and
relief of suffering, the early identification and assessment of pain as well as physical,
psycho-social and spiritual needs.
Our Vision: is to promote a high quality of palliative care service to the communities
of the greater Matjhabeng area. Palliative care should be available and accessible to all.
Our Mission: Goldfields Hospice provides a holistic home based program of specialized
palliative care services dedicated exclusively to people facing progressive and advanced
illness. We strive to improve quality in life, dignity in death and support in bereavement
to all suffering from a life threatening illness.”
