Brenthurst Residence – Plumstead

When considering whether a care home is the right place for your loved one, question whether they focus on memory stimulating activities and what steps are taken to ensure the residents are comfortable and cared for.

At Brenthurst Residence, we make special allowances, such as allowing couples to stay together at the home when one is suffering from dementia.

Family support is also incredibly important, and a vital element in keeping the family involved in the resident’s life. As such, Brenthurst Residence hosts a monthly Dementia Care Support Group for family members and the community at large. The focus of this Group is to provide family and friends with vital tools needed to care for a loved one dealing with Dementia.

The Dementia Care Support Group is open to all and meets at 15h00 on the first Wednesday of every month, in the Brenthurst Residence lounge. Read more…

Sea Point Place Memory Care Centre – Sea Point

After extensive research into the latest international trends and studies in terms of care for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, CPOA recently launched its latest Memory Care Centre at the well-known Sea Point Place retirement community in Cape Town.

Individualised care plans address specific mental and physical health needs. An initial assessment provides insight into independence levels, likes, dislikes, and history; this allows for tailored activities that will be most beneficial to the resident.

Varied daily activity programmes provide social interaction and entertainment while focusing on different aspects of cognitive function and physical well-being. Residents enjoy a diverse range of activities from music therapy to crafts, sport games to table games, scenic drives and more. As everyone has different levels of ability, these activities are adjusted to suit each individual’s level of comfort.

Consisting of 14 beds, the Memory Care Centre is small in size which encourages the formation of relationships between staff and residents and allows for attentive, personal care. Read More…
