The Home has a heated therapy swimming pool, which is covered to provide shade. The pool has railings around the edges, and has a ramp where residents can be lowered into the pool in a shower chair.
We have two gyms, one of which is wheelchair accessible which means residents do not have to wait for someone to assist them, they are able to operate the equipment by themselves.
We have a large social room with a pub which is used for various events, and our bi-monthly pub evenings which are run by the Residents Committee.
The Home has numerous braai areas on the property, in amongst our beautiful gardens. Braai facilities can be used by residents’ families who may be visiting or for functions at the Home.
We are a recycling site, and are able to accept paper and glass recycling. The money raised through this initiative goes into the residents fund.
We have a large vegetable tunnel in which we grow vegetables for the kitchen to use in preparing meals for our residents. Any excess vegetables are sold in our Charity shop. This vegetable tunnel is unique in that it is wheelchair friendly, and has plinths where residents in wheelchairs can assist with the weeding and harvesting of vegetables.
We have a large dining room where residents are expected to eat all their meals, unless they are ill and unable to get out of bed. It is important that residents remain sociable for their own wellbeing and state of mind.
We have two large vehicles, each with a wheelchair hoist attached to the back. These vehicles transport our residents wherever they need to go, including shopping at Northgate two days a week.
Residents enjoy spacious bedrooms that they decorate and personalise. Each room is unique and beautifully reflects the personality of each individual.
