The Roodepoortse Sentrum Vir Bejaardes was established in the early seventies by the Church district of Florida who realized that there was an urgent need for a home for the elderly who only receive a state pension. I realized in 2001 that there was an urgent need for care for Alzheimer patients. We extended the frail care building with 270 square meters and 40 beds to care for the Alzheimer patients.
Anglo American Chairman’s Fund supported me with the project. Unfortunately our scope was too small. We did not realize the size of this sickness and now we have a long waiting list for people to be accepted.
