Hospice Bloemfontein In-Patient Unit
At Siesta Retirement Home, 5 General Conroy Str. Dan Pienaar, Bloemfontein.

Over the four years that we have been providing hospice services to patients mainly at their
homes, we have identified a huge need for an in-patient unit when home is either absent or not an
ideal option – a dignified and worthy space where patients can be taken care of and family
members can visit as often as they want, or stay for as long as they want to.
We can now offer two hospice rooms to patients where they will receive compassionate and
professional palliative care 24hrs/day, as well as the emotional support both they and their families
need.

These rooms will mainly be used for:
• complicated pain- and symptom control,
• respite for family members,
• active end-of-life care.

Our Multi-Disciplinary Team together with Siesta’s staff under the experienced and professional guidance
of sr. Joan Marston will ensure the best possible care to our patients.
