This October, residents and staff of the Helderberg Society for the Aged came together to show support for National Breast Cancer Month with a series of heartwarming activities and a sea of pink! Together, we raised awareness, honored survivors, and remembered those affected by breast cancer. From pink-themed events to educational sessions, our HSFA family is united in hope and strength, spreading love and solidarity throughout our community.

A special thank you goes out to our wonderful residents at HSFA Mountview Frailcare, Joan Moen and Edith Hofmeyr, for their incredible dedication and generosity. Over the past few months, Joan and Edith have been tirelessly knitting beautiful crafts, which they have now graciously donated to
Heartlands Baby Sanctuary.
This heartwarming effort bridges the gap between generations, showcasing the kindness and creativity of our elderly community members, and bringing joy to the little ones at Heartlands.

Our residents do like to keep busy. An example of someone who makes a massive effort to contribute her skill and time is our Eve Klix from HSFA’s Silver Oaks Lodge. Her green fingers in the unit’s veggie gardens have produced healthy bell peppers and heirloom tomatoes! Thank you, Eve. #greenfingers #SilverOaksLodge #activeaging

Dr Adriaan Liebenberg and Claire James gave a talk at the Helderberg Society for the Aged in Somerset West as part of ‘Go Turquoise for the Elderly’ campaign. The unanimous voice from the audience was “It is the best talk I ever attended!” It’s wonderful to hear that the talk was well-received and that the attendees found value from our PAIN presenters. Dr Liebenberg and Claire deserve recognition for their efforts in delivering an exceptional talk that resonated with the audience. It’s heartening to know that their expertise and insights made a positive difference in the lives of the elderly.

“Oh, What a beautiful morning!” from Oklahoma rang out in the lounges of Silver Oaks Lodge and our Support Centre units. HSFA Assisted Living and Frail Care residents enjoyed the polished performances Tish and Denise and their uplifting voices! Songs in the line-up included favourites from The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma! West Side Story, and more! A quote from one of the residents Olive Bowman summed it up; “They were out of this world. I wish I could reach the notes that they get so effortlessly. The songs all take me back many years. Thank you for the whole performance which was unforgettable!” Thank you to Denise Rogers and Tish Morgan as well as Tina Lotz (MC) and Johan Davidson (Audio/tech).

The residents at HSFA’s Swannack Gardens are keeping fit on their NEW outdoor exercise gym. Jackie Nash and Delmence Prevost shown in the photos below worked up a healthy sweat whilst enjoying the beautiful view and getting some Vitamin sunshine D! Thank you for the kind donor (who asked to not be mentioned) who sponsored the fabulous equipment. The HSFA believes in active ageing and this kind action really supports our mission!
