Centurion Hospice was established in 1997 when four philanthropists, Prof Philip Boyazoglu, Bobby Locke, Jetske Nell and George van Dyk, signed the first constitution and built a hospital on land donated by the City of Tswane.
Today 26 years later, Centurion Hospice provides home-based and hospital care for patients over 16 years of age who have been diagnosed with a terminal and/or life-limiting illness. Some patients who require advanced illness care are not necessarily terminal, but rather bed-bound.
Centurion Hospice reopened its 15-bed In-Patient Unit (IPU) in October 2020 in the midst of the COVID lockdown in response to the dire need for quality care.
Our holistic services includes patients and their loved ones facing the rigours associated with life-limiting illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems; physical, psychological and spiritual.
As a palliative hospital and home-based care provider, Centurion Hospice adheres to all relevant legal requirements and HPCA standards. Additionally, we adhere to the Independent Code of Governance as determined by the Department of Social Development and King IV.
Centurion Hospice also supports the development of quality palliative care workers by accommodating students from various institutions:
- 4th year Medical Students
- Post-graduate Psychology and Social Welfare students
- Somatology students
- Care Workers.
