Unit 19 Lentegeur Hospital, Gugulethu Community Hospice, Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, South Africa
Community Day Hospices. St Luke's Combined Hospices has nine community hospices located across Cape Town. Each community hospice is made up of volunteers that run the services along with the nurses and social workers. Currently, we care for over 500 patients in their homes every month through these community hospices. Six of our hospices provide day hospice services where patients can spend a morning meeting friends, having a meal and engaging in psychosocial programmes and activities with staff and volunteers.
