The HSFA staff are ahead of our game as usual and have got our booster shots for Covid-19! The staff were initially part of the Sisonke Covid vaccination trials over 6 months previously where we were fully vaccinated with J&J and now welcomed the booster shots to ensure extra protection and additional safety of our residents. #COVID19#covidprevention
The Helderberg Society For the Aged received a much welcomed donation of PPE and two elderly walkers from the Rotary Club of Somerset West . The equipment was sourced from a Rotary International club in Canada. Having an excess of PPE in Canada, the Rotarian clubs made a coordinated effort to generously ship it on a container and distribute it to several charities in Somerset West and surrounds. The HSFA is most grateful to the Rotarians, and especially to Heather Botes (Community Services Director of Somerset West Rotary Club) for this wonderful initiative. Eppie Macfarlane from Somerset West Rotary Club handed over the donation on the day.
The staff and residents of the Helderberg Society For the Aged (HSFA) are very thankful to have 558 of their residents and other older persons vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus as part of the national rollout to the elderly over the age of 60.
“The Helderberg Society for the Aged (HSFA) would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to, and congratulate KESS – Khayelitsha Eastern Substructure in conjunction with the Western Cape Department of Health on administering 558 of the Covid-19 vaccines, at the HSFA on the 20th May 2021, to our residents and elderly, over the age of 60 years,” says HSFA’s Operations Manager Rene Anderson van Zyl.
The dynamic and professional team, headed by Sheila McCloen, and her team of Registered Nurses and Administrators from KESS, are commended on the sterling job they did of ensuring our elderly, some of whom are too frail and bedridden, received their first dose of the Phizer Covid-19 vaccination as part of the Phase 2 roll out with KESS and the Western Cape Department of Health.
