Established in 1959, the Home is open to persons of all ages who are in need of assisted living and nursing care, this includes Alzheimer’s and dementia; stroke and accident victims as well as persons who are incapable of caring for themselves for whatever reason. It remains Bulawayo’s only registered private Nursing Home and it is a subscribed member of AHFOZ whereby residents on certain medical aid covers enjoy some return on fees.
Most of the elderly remaining in Zimbabwe lost their life savings and pensions and now rely on family, friends and charity organisations for their existence. Although “dollarisation” stabilised the economy, it has presented an entirely new set of problems. Utility bills remain very high, especially electricity, and ongoing National Employment Council wage reviews have a crippling effect. Concurrently, we are concerned that increasing fees to sustainable levels would place our facility beyond the reach of most fee payers. As a result, the Home has created various care options including Low Care, General Care, High Care, Convalescent and Day Care (Monday to Friday) in and endeavour meet all needs
However, donor assistance remains our life line. Without this we would not be able to maintain the standards expected of the facility and the adequate care of its residents.
