About us
HospiceWits provides care to meet the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of patients and their families facing life-limiting illness. This is done with the aim of achieving the best quality of life for the patient. Our desire is to be involved with the patient from the moment they’re diagnosed, offering love, comfort and emotional support to them and their family. We have an in-patient unit in Houghton to provide constant, supervised care to patients who need it. Emotional support and bereavement counselling is provided to patients and their families. Home-based care Our focus is placed primarily on providing care to the patient in the comfort of their own home. We do this through our network of palliative-trained professional nurses, doctors and caregivers. Social workers, spiritual counsellors and psychologists also attend to emotional and psychosocial needs. Our caregivers aim to help patients who are facing health challenges to live life to the full, while in the comfort of their own homes. We respect the dignity of our patients and their families when placing palliative trained nursing staff to suit their needs. We also offer accredited courses such as grief, loss and bereavement courses, or a one-week introduction to palliative care to professionals and the general public. Other courses cover HIV/AIDS, as well as dementia. HospiceWits shops have a wide range of new and previously loved, donated items for sale. If you’re downsizing or upgrading your furniture or wardrobe and would like to donate, please contact us on 011 728 1052, or email shops@hospicewits.co.za. We collect! We’re fortunate to have a group of selfless volunteers who give their time and effort to support us in our important work. We welcome all those willing to lend a helping hand.
