Joeemm Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi AllI have an elderly relative in South Africa who is in need of care. So I wonder if anyone on the forum can recommend organisations in Johannesburg that may be able to assist me to arrange this from Oz.RegardsJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sorry no idea from my side, might just be that nobody knows, give it a few days someone may still know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordy Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Are you looking for home based care or details of a good nursing home / frail care / retirement village / assisted living? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeemm Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi JordyI reckon we're looking at nursing home / frail care / retirement village / assisted living rather than in home care.Thanks for the comment Bronwyn, I will have a look at that one.Thanks for the pointers guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyskies Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Try the flower foundation, ideally you want to inspect the place but their rep seems good. I looked at one for my dad but he died just as we were sorting out the paperwork so I don't know for sure. http://www.flower.org.za/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
