At Wide Horizon Hospice, this is what we do. This is who we are.

We want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful ladies of the Rotary Ann's Club of Riverside for their generous support of our hospice.

A special mention must go to Irene Ramsden and Val Elsworth, who not only came bearing a generous donation, but also brought with them a genuine warmth and commitment to walking this journey with us.

It's one thing to receive support, it's another to feel that the people behind it truly care, and that's exactly what we felt meeting with Irene and Val.

Your commitment to partnering with Wide Horizon doesn't go unnoticed.

Yesterday, we shared how proud we were to watch several of our patients grow strong enough to return home to their families. It's one of the moments in hospice care that reminds us why we do this work.

Today, we carry heavier news.

One of the patients we celebrated going home has passed away. We were informed yesterday evening, and it has been a hard day for our team.

She was with us for a short time, but long enough for our staff to grow fond of her; her spirit and the quiet strength she carried through her illness.

When a patient improves enough to go home, it's a moment of hope we hold onto tightly. So when we learned she had passed, it hit differently. It was a loss we felt deeply, even from a distance.

Hospice care doesn't end at our doors. The bonds our staff form with patients don't disappear just because someone has gone home. We continue to hold them, and their families, in our hearts and in our care long after they've left our hospice.

To her family, we are so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for allowing us to be part of her journey, even for a short while. She was loved here, and she will be remembered.

Today we said goodbye to someone very special. Over these past weeks, we've had the joy of watching several of our patients improve enough to go home to their families. It's a feeling that never gets old.

But hospice care means walking alongside people through every season, and this morning, we experienced our first loss at Wide Horizon Hospice.

He was a local senior, well loved, who had been fighting cancer for more than five years. He came into our care 11 days ago, and in that short time, he became part of our family. Our staff grew close to him the way you do when you sit with someone through their hardest days and this morning, when he passed, there wasn’t a dry eye on the ward.

Under our new management, Stepping Stone Hospice has brought a tradition with us to Wide Horizon that we’re proud to now carry forward here: a Guard of Honour.

It’s something we hold sacred. You’ll see in the photo that we honour and respect our patients both in life and in death. Their dignity matters to us right to the very end, all the way through to saying our final goodbye. When the funeral parlour comes to collect a patient, our staff stand a Guard of Honour for them; it’s our way of caring for that patient, for their family, and for our own hearts as we process the loss too.

We pick flowers from our own garden and give them to the family, who place them on the shroud as their loved one is carried from the ward. And our staff don’t just turn away and go back to work, they stay, they wait, until the hearse has left the grounds, before slowly making their way back inside.

Today, we stood that guard for him. It was heavy, and it was beautiful, and it was exactly how he deserved to be seen off.

Many of you already know her and now we get to share the news that Sr Ronel Hoffmann has joined the Wide Horizon Hospice family!

With over 40 years of nursing experience across a wide range of disciplines, Sr Ronel brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and steady hands to our team. Nursing isn't just her career, it's her calling. It's what she loves, and it shows in everything she does.

Outside of her nursing life, Ronel is a mother of two and a proud grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren who keep her on her toes. When she does find a quiet moment, you'll likely find her curled up with a good book.

Please note that Sr Ronel still runs her own private practice and continues to see her patients as usual; this is simply an exciting addition to the incredible work she already does in our community.

We're so grateful to have her caring heart and experienced hands as part of the Wide Horizon team. Please join us in welcoming her!

Some days in our little shop are just plain fun and yesterday was one of them.

Meet Witness, who popped in on a mission: he's getting married on the 7th of August, and he needed a wedding tuxedo. Well, he found the perfect one, smart, sharp, ready for his big day, for just R450.

Only one small hiccup: his bride-to-be had gotten to his bank card first thing that morning (we've all been there 😅), leaving him R50 short. Our amazing volunteer Kerry, who without missing a beat, covered the difference so Witness could walk out with his tux in hand.

He's off to sort out a pair of shoes next, so if you're popping in and see a dapper gentleman on the hunt for the perfect pair, you'll know exactly why we're all smiling.

Congratulations in advance, Witness! We can't wait to hear how the big day goes. 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬: 𝐎𝐊 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞, 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝, 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐥𝐢𝐩, 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐥 ゚viralシ

At Wide Horizon, caring for our patients means thinking of every "what if", even the ones we hope will never happen.

That's why we're so glad to share that we now have a generator on lease, ready to keep the lights on and, most importantly, keep our patients' essential equipment running no matter what.

For the patients we care for, a steady power supply isn't a convenience, it's a lifeline. Some of our patients depend on oxygen machines every hour of every day, and any interruption in power, even briefly, can be frightening for them and for the families who love them.

With this generator in place, we can offer that extra layer of protection, so that a storm, an outage, or any unforeseen circumstance never has to mean a moment of fear for the people in our care.

This is what compassionate care looks like behind the scenes, not just the hands that comfort, but the quiet preparation that ensures comfort never has to pause.

To every patient and family who trusts us with your care: we see you, we plan for you, and we will always do everything we can to protect your peace of mind.

We would like to thank Mr Esterhuizen of Arcon Park for his generous support of our Pink Bin initiative.

Through his kind donations of preloved items, Mr Esterhuizen has helped stock our charity shop with quality goods that go directly toward funding the care and comfort of our patients.

Every item donated makes a real difference, helping us provide the compassionate, dignified care that so many families rely on during some of life's most difficult moments.

Community support like this is the heartbeat of Wide Horizon Hospice.

We're not a hospital. We don't have machines beeping down long corridors or a waiting room full of people hoping for good news.

What we have is a lot of ordinary, quiet moments that matter more than people expect, a nurse holding someone's hand, a cup of tea made just the way someone likes it, a family finally getting to just sit together without the weight of "what do we do next."

That's hospice. It's not about giving up. It's about showing up. It's the part of healthcare nobody really talks about until they need it. But when a family does need it, it changes everything.

This is the work we do, every single day.
