TLC Home Services was founded in May 2006 by 2 professional nurses, Teresa Olivier and Di Penny whose original vision was to assist cancer patients in their dying days.  However, after attending a Care Course provided by Hospice they realised that their focus would have to broaden to include patients affected by HIV/Aids.

 

From small unassuming beginnings, this organization has grown from a small home office to a fully fledged 3-star Hospice.

 

From an initial client base of 5, TLC Home Services is now able to provide Palliative Care Services to the patients in Greater Kokstad Municipal area and surrounds.  TLC Home Services now cares for over 350 patients on a monthly basis.  These patients are suffering from HIV/Aids; TB; cancer; diabetes and other advanced life-limiting illnesses.  This includes children suffering from these illnesses.

 

The establishment of a Community Centre in Shayamoya and the resultant partnership with Sivile! has provided TLC  with a much needed boost.  TLC Home Services The Community Centre is situated in the heart of the Shayamoya township which enables them to reach out to people in the community - who are in desperate need of palliative care.
