Stepping Stone Hospice

We provide specialist palliative care to people experiencing the impact of life-threatening illness. We are an independent, community-driven service.
(1)

Palliative care starts at the time of diagnosis and is an additional layer of care provided by trained and skilled professionals. Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services started operating on the 1st of January 2013. We understand how difficult it is to see your loved one in pain. We understand how important it is for your loved one to die with dignity. We know how hard it is to come to terms with the loss. We speak from a position of personal experience. We want you to know that you are never alone. We are here for you...

We were blessed with another wonderful visit from our dear friends at Doxa Deo Meyersdal, who once again brought their annual gift of Christmas joy to Stepping Stone. 🎄❤️

In a beautiful display of kindness and appreciation, the Doxa Deo team surprised our incredible staff with thoughtful goodie bags and delicious treats, reminding us all of the true spirit of the season.

Our nurses and admin staff work tirelessly throughout the year, providing compassionate care and unwavering support to our patients and their families during life's most challenging moments. To be recognized and celebrated in this way means the world to each and every one of our team members.

This annual tradition has become a cherished highlight of our year, and we are deeply grateful to the Cherish women's ministry and the entire Doxa Deo Meyersdal congregation for their continued partnership and generosity.

We are deeply humbled and grateful to Alberton Child Welfare for their incredible act of kindness and generosity.

This morning, they chose to pay it forward by blessing us with much-needed items including walkers, adult diapers, an electric blanket, a leg walker, and various medical supplies. Gifts like these go far beyond the physical items themselves.

❤️Today we celebrate a beautiful milestone - our precious Lulo marks ONE YEAR with us at our Children’s Unit!

When little Lulo first arrived as our very first young patient, she was a brave seven-year-old born with Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), facing challenges that would test the strongest spirit - two holes in her heart, an underdeveloped brain, and seizures that came without warning.

In these 12 months, she has found more than just medical support, she’s found a home. Where there was once constant crisis and uncertainty, there is now stability and peace, thanks to our dedicated team of care workers and nurses.

This past weekend we got to witness something truly special at our New Market IPU. Loved ones gathered to honour the memory of Fanie and Diane, a devoted husband and wife who left this world just 17 months apart.

With tender hearts, their family got together in a quiet moment of remembrance - a moment filled with love and gratitude for the lives they lived.

They put up a memorial cross in their name, a simple yet deeply meaningful gesture that will stand as a reminder of their legacy and the bond they shared. The cross was hung with reverence, marking a space where their memory can continue to bring comfort to those who visit.

The gathering held special significance as it took place on what would have been Diane’s 53rd birthday on November 15. As they stood together, they prayed the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer close to Fanie’s heart and one that beautifully united everyone in the moment.

Afterward, Arya and Junise walked to the chapel for a quiet time of personal prayer and reflection. The peaceful stillness of the chapel offered a gentle space to give thanks, to grieve, and to honour the love shared by this remarkable couple.

Fanie and Diane’s love continues to ripple outward, touching all who knew them and all who serve at Stepping Stone Hospice.
