Highveld Gardens Retirement Lodge Midrand was established in 1985 and has been in operation as a family care facility ever since. The current owners are John and Shona Le Roux, assisted by their son, Daniel, and a team of competent staff, consisting of 2 nursing sisters, Margaret and Yvonne, 3 staff nurses, 2 auxiliary nurses, 32 care givers and a general manager, Monica. All our staff are handpicked to fulfil the needs of our residents, and to provide the best possible nursing care – no matter what the age, affiliation, race, gender or health status of each individual resident. At Highveld Gardens we strive to let every resident feel at home and value their independence. That’s why we are a pet friendly facility.
Highveld Gardens Retirement Lodge Midrand is an oasis situated between Pretoria and Johannesburg, in the suburb Halfway Gardens. We are close to Waterfall, Mall of Africa and Hospitals, shops and within easy access for family members travelling from either metropole.
