The HSFA is feeling truly spoiled by the generosity of a wonderful community partner—

We’ve got an extra spring in our step! We are grateful for Gray Swan’s incredible generosity in once again sponsoring 300 pairs of shoes for our residents.
Thank you, Gray Swan, for your continued support of Helderberg Society for the Aged. The shoes are being distributed to those of our residents in need, in our respective units and Garden Village.
Your commitment to our community enables us to provide sustainable, dignified care that enhances the quality of life for the elderly in a compassionate, respectful environment. Together, we’re striving toward a brighter future for our residents and dedicated staff!

The HSFA Festive Market certainly lived up to it name. It was buzzing with residents, staff and many visitors to the HSFA all enjoying the festivities, gift shopping and enjoying pancakes, boerewors, roosterkork, Samoosas, “bazaarpoeding” , gingerbeer and lemon juice and more!

Beaumont Primary School have always had a special relationship with the HSFA and frequent our halls singing in concerts or providing us with flowers. Beaumont provided the HSFA beautiful Christmas Gift Bags full of toiletries and treats. All 620 residents also received BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED cards from the pupils of Beaumont! The gift bags were delivered to those residents who have no family and/or financial support, and the recipients were very grateful for this generosity. Thank you to all the Beaumont families, the Head Boys and Head Girls (Nathan Nissen, Jamie Wege, Klara Korber and Nina van Reenen) as well as Dez Struwig who manages the programme and Dwain Brown, the new Headmaster of Beaumont Primary. It is hard to describe the delight on the faces of our residents who received the gifts. Thank you!

It is so moving to watch our resident’s faces light up as a beautiful dog comes with a waggy tail through the lounges! A lovely volunteer Danette Viljoen and her gentle furry beauty named Rue, from Pets As Therapy visited our Frail and Dementia Units. Those residents (obviously having happy memories of owing their own dogs in their lives), showed so much excitement and joy, cuddling or stroking the dog’s soft fur; some from a deep motionless sleep, awoke with a smile and movement! One must never forget that reminders of happy life memories is so important to the frail aged.
