The HSFA turns Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Day

Oct 31, 2022 | Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Living longer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and several HSFA units took this opportunity to build awareness amongst the residents and staff. Each received a pink ribbon and an info card on how to self check for breast cancer. All the Support Centre residents enjoyed tea and cake in the front gardens morning, whilst listening to music and chatting under the umbrellas. Mountview had a party in their sunny courtyard, had a quiz on breast cancer and also enjoyed tea, cake and pink marshmellows!

The Assisted Living Units (Silver Oaks and Robari Lodge) as well as Vonke and Swannack, went PINK for a day and enjoyed a party lunch! Everybody enjoyed it very much ! Thank you to the Unit Managers and staff teams who make such an effort to make these events a success! #breastcancerawarenessmonth2022

Phenomenal women at the HSFA

Aug 29, 2022 | Acts of kindness, General, Retirement, Somerset West

The phenomenal women of Independent Living (both staff and residents) kindly donated gifts to those living in our HSFA Frail Care (some on subsidies and/or no family support). Woman’s month ended with a fun tea at Vonke House with some guest speakers!

On Woman’s day earlier in the month both the Assisted Living and Frail Care units enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by GERATEC to be reminded of just special women are! Thank you all!
