ABOUT US

People often ask “Why this line of work? Why this industry?” – well, it was never planned.

My grandfather of 88 had a stroke in October 2006, he was in hospital for a while, then in rehab and eventually we had to accept that he was not going to be the way he was prior to his stroke.

Both my sisters are overseas so the task of finding him a home fell on my shoulders. Needless to say I searched, I must have viewed at least 15 places; all of which left me in tears.

Eventually I found a new place in Botha’s Hill, although it was ‘Hospital Like’, it had a good feel, everything was new and the staff were friendly – so we moved Oupa in. We moved him sometime in November. A few months in and the owner decides to close for financial reasons – Oh Dear, I had to start again. But then I decided, “why cant I do this?”. I approached the sister in charge, discussed the options with her and we decided to give it a try.

Falls Haven, officially opened its doors 1 May 2007 and as the saying goes;- The rest is history. We have been loved and well managed since 2007!

Bluff Haven was an opportunity not to be missed – A previous home was closed down due to the health of the owner and she approached me to “Take over” from her. In October 2008, Bluff Haven opened its doors and has been successfully homing residents since.

Both my homes have top class staff and offer top quality services. I, along with my three nursing sisters (Tirsa, Carin and Rose) and our team of long term staff, only want the best for our elderly folk.

Frail Care – Our purpose in providing frail care is to ensure that not only our residents but their families receive the best and most professional care possible.

We like to ensure our residents are kept comfortable and happy in their environment as well as kept busy with the use of television, reading, beautiful gardens and companionship.

Hospice Care – These services are offered once all treatment options have been exhausted and a patient is placed in hospice care to provide comfort and dignity in one’s final days. A patient is ready for hospice when they have decided to pursue treatments meant only to promote comfort, not cure the illness. Those treatments may include medications to relieve pain, nausea, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, itching, hiccups, and many more.
