Caring- giving of oneself without expecting something in return"

Bronvin Louw one of our amazing care workers at The Crescent is the epitome of the above description.

She has been in the caregiving profession for 15 years. Starting off as a cleaner at F.G.V she soon realized how she had found her niche amongst the elderly and needy and worked herself up to the qualified care giver she is today.

As our luck had it our paths crossed at The Crescent, and she has been with us for +- 5 years.

She is hardworking, caring, giving and a firm favorite amongst the residents, justly so with her outstanding work ethic and desire at all times to make a difference in the lives of our residents.

Her affinity for working with the frailest of residents and her commitment to their care and wellbeing is inspirational.

She has a cheerful nature and always up for a daily challenge that face us.

She is always available for anything asked of her be it in the kitchen, stepping in cheerfully when and where the need arises.

She is truly someone that I can depend on.

I Here for take this opportunity to thank her and wish us many more years to come.

Carevita Crescent visited a few retirement homes in Kranshoek on the 19th of September.

It was an absolute privilege to meet everyone at the homes and to listen to their stories. The team also went into the community to greet the outpatients that cannot walk or get to a center. The Kranshoek community have a beautiful day care where people can come for the day and have their meals and take part in the daily activities.

We also spoke with the wonderful Annie who is running a home called Reeca. Annie saw the need in the community and decided to start her own little home in her house. Annie had absolutely nothing at first but with the help of people she could accommodate around 9 elderly people. What really impressed us was how humble Annie is and how grateful she is for every little bit they can get. We asked Annie if there is anything we can do and her response was that she just needs help looking after her people (family). She didn't asked for anything else, she just wanted someone to come in now and then and lend a hand.
