ThembaCare Grabouw provides a 7-bed hospice in-patient facility for adults who are terminally ill and whose lives have been devastated by HIV/AIDS and TB. It is the only overnight medical care in the town. To complement the in-patient facility ThembaCare also has a team of community care workers who visit various discharged patients and other referrals in their homes every morning.

May News

Eva

This month was not a good month for ThembaCare. Two of our carers were in a vehicle accident and were hospitalised with minor injuries and are still experience some pain.

It also with great sadness that we have to say farewell to one of our staff members who pass away on 13 May 2013. Eva Manho was one of the IPU night duty carers. She is leaving behind 1 son and 4 daughters as well as grand children. This is a first for ThembaCare Grabouw to lose a beloved staff member. Please keep our staff in your prayers in the coming weeks.

Aside from this loss, we are busy working towards our 3 star preparations for HPCA. This involves writing of more policies but also implementing them. We want to thank Ayanda from HPCA for the mentoring towards this.
