CANSA Eikehof Care Home Athlone

CANSA Eikehof Care Home Athlone provides a home-away-from-home for cancer patients who live far from treatment centres. Located in Athlone, the Care Home offers a safe and supportive place for patients during their cancer treatment journey. It shares its premises with the CANSA Cape Metro Care Centre.

Support for Cancer Patients

Patients usually stay at the Care Home for six to eight weeks, depending on how long their treatment takes. However, patients may return home on weekends if this is possible. While the Care Home does not offer nursing facilities, dedicated CANSA staff are available 24/7 to create a welcoming and secure environment.

The facility supports patients from across the Eastern, Northern, Southern, and Western Cape regions. In addition, it helps people from areas such as the Klein Karoo who need easier access to cancer treatment centres.
