Our extensively trained staff and comprehensive activity programmes enable the provision of long term, dementia, respite and palliative care to patients in a safe and secure environment. We are able to care for mature individuals who are no longer able to care for themselves independently.
Our long term care services provide ongoing care and support to those no longer living independently. This type of care is highly individualised and emphasises the inherent worth of the individual and the centrality of human values.
Faircape Health Institute provides specialised sub-acute care and rehabilitation in a hospital environment for patients recovering after surgery, illness, injury, or an intensive care stay. Our interdisciplinary team of medical professionals, therapists, and nursing staff work together to support recovery, restore independence, and improve quality of life through personalised rehabilitation programmes delivered in a safe, therapeutic environment.
At Faircape Health Institute, we provide specialised, compassionate care for people nearing the end of their life, or in the advanced stage of a terminal illness. End-of-life care involves a range of possible decisions, including patients’ rights and choice of medical interventions.
Respite care is temporary care, either planned or emergency, aimed at caregivers. These programmes provide short-term breaks for families and carers to support and maintain the primary caregiving relationship.
