In patient unit(ipu)

Ladies of Hope has established the first and only In-Patient Unit (IPU) in Ennerdale, dedicated to providing holistic care for underprivileged communities. This 8-bed hospice centre, currently holding a 3-star rating with the Association of Palliative Care Centre’s (APCC), serves as a vital support system for individuals facing life-limiting conditions.

The Ladies of Hope In-Patient Unit is more than just a healthcare facility—it is a place of compassion, dignity, and comfort for those in need. Through collaborations with healthcare providers and the community, the IPU remains committed to offering life-affirming care and support to Ennerdale’s most vulnerable individuals.

  • Bathing, cleaning, and feeding assistance for those unable to care for themselves.

Molly Chetty

Our senior citizens and paraplegics are neglected, forgotten and neglected. These were people that were breadwinners in their prime but now treated as if they are worthless.


The Ladies of Hope restore their dignity through care. Every community needs an organization like this. We must not lose our humanity.


Well done to the Ladies of Hope.
