St Francis Hospice, Port Elizabeth

St Francis Hospice, Port Elizabeth Providing palliative care since 1984. We serve the greater Nelson Mandela Bay and Kouga Area. Our care is available to all, irrespective of their ability to pay.

Hospice is both a program and a philosophy of care that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients with a life threatening illness. Hospice provides a program of palliative care which encompasses the holistic care of patients whose disease is no longer responsive to curative treatment. St Francis Hospice currently provides comprehensive home-based palliative care to ±240 patients per month in the Nelson Mandela Metro and surrounds, serving people who are in the final stages of an illness such as Cancer, Aids, TB or Motor Neurone disease and giving support to their families, some of whom live in abject poverty.

Everyday stories of care: I have the privilege of visiting a wonderful patient named Veronica, who lives in KwaNomzamo. She is such a kind soul, always expressing her deep gratitude for the soup we deliver during our weekly visits. Veronica loves sharing stories, and her warmth always brightens our time together.

Until recently, Veronica's daughter, Amanda, was the primary breadwinner of the household. However, Amanda has since become her mother's full-time carer, which has brought its own set of challenges. It is easy to overlook just how difficult it can be for some families to make ends meet.

Last month, we were able to deliver a food parcel to Veronica. She was so moved by the gesture that she burst into tears. Veronica couldn’t stop thanking us, and she spoke about the parcel with such emotion during our next two visits. 🫶

Though we can't help everyone, moments like this remind us how much of a difference we can make in a few lives. And for those we can touch, it truly matters. - Sr Nadine
