The much sought after retirement home, run by the PHS, celebrated their 1st anniversary and held an open day recently, for members of the public to view the premises.
The retirement home, which is situated at 320, 12th Avenue, Laudium, has filled a vacuum by providing a service to the vulnerable elderly.
According to Ramesh Chhagan, the manager of the retirement home, there was a very positive response from a large number of people, of all faiths, who visited the home. Visitors were impressed with the
facilities and especially pleased that a stair-lift had been installed for elderly persons, who struggled to climb stairs. The Laudium Care Services for the Aged, as well as other NGO's, also pledged their support and willingness to assist the home.
* The next open day will be held on Sunday, March 25, from 10am to 3pm.
Members of the PHS Retirement Home committee: Vassie Naidoo, Raman Rama, Ramesh Chhagan, Maniben Rama, Lakhiben Ranchod and Vinay Chhagan.
