Rand Aid Association, a registered non-profit organisation that was founded in 1903 and has grown and evolved for over 100 years, serves a dual purpose.
It provides a variety of retirement accommodation for the well established retiree, which in turn generates an invaluable source of income used to assist the aged in need, and men suffering from substance abuse.
Rand Aid Association's Advance Division
Rand Aid Association is able to reach out and assist these people in need and achieve its objectives via its Advance Division, which provides serene, secure and upmarket retirement accommodation and frail care services for people aged 65 and over. Its retirement villages, situated in tranquil surroundings, include:
-
Inyoni Creek, is special due to its river frontage, gradual slopes providing good views over a green belt area and large dams that attract a variety of birdlife
-
Thornhill Manor, is characterised by a sense of tranquility and complemented by its landscaped gardens and beautiful water features.
- Elphin Lodge, this village is set in beautiful, secure surroundings featuring dams with extensive bird life, tranquil walks, spacious lawns and a swimming pool
- Ron Smith Care Centre, all rates quoted include full board and lodging, laundry, physiotherapy and
occupational therapy services, twenty four hour nursing care and doctor on call.
Rand Aid Association's Social React Division:
In essence, Rand Aid Association's Social React Division provides hope and support through difficult times. People in their golden years often battle to make ends meet. The organisation's vision is therefore to alleviate hardship and assist with overcoming life’s challenges.
It does this via three services, namely:
-
Wedge Gardens Treatment Centre, which assists people suffering from substance abuse;
-
Tarentaal Village, which offers subsidised accommodation for the elderly with limited means;
-
Thembalami Care Centre, which caters for men and women of all races, over the age of 65, who are either physically or mentally frail, or both, and who are in dire need of frail care.
