Leading Dementia Care Facility Opens Village in Bryanston

Since 2011, the Livewell Group has been at the forefront of dementia and Alzheimer’s care in South Africa. We are motivated by a personal and heartfelt concern for the dignity and care of our elders and our efforts continue to be encouraged by the strong market need for specialised individual care. Livewell is excited to announce the launch of our Bryanston Facility.

Our goal was to give the public a taste of what The Livewell Group is about – namely, a specialised Dementia care facility providing Quality of Life to residents with world class care and innovation. Our motivation stems from a personal and heartfelt concern for the dignity and care of our elders. At the recent Livewell Villages launch in Bryanston, over 70 guests enjoyed the Livewell hospitality and had the opportunity of walking through our luxurious refurbished manor house lounges and exclusive suites. Guests were entertained under a beautiful Jacaranda tree in our large tranquil and picturesque gardens.

We had the privilege of having Dr. Ryan Fuller as our guest speaker, a Psychiatrist that specialises in Memorycare, Psychogeriatrcian Assessment and Management of Memory & related Mental Health Disorders. Dr. Fuller, who developed the Memory Care Clinic, made it clear that due to the fragmentation of memory care services and lack of family structure in South Africa, our Livewell Village concept raises the standard for dementia related health care services, and encourages dignity and meaningfulness in the lives of our memory-care residents.

Our guests left inspired by the harmony of our typical peaceful country village where they could imagine our residents strolling in a safe place where everyone feels included, can remain independent for longer, enjoy a sense of choice of control over their lives and pursue their hobbies and interest in our lovely facility.

At our Villages, residents benefit from a tranquil personal space as well as a shared space with a sense of belonging. They enjoy luxury suites, the attention of Livewell Companions, and personalised 24-hour care. Our secure and genteel Villages welcome live-in spouses, encourage freedom of movement both outdoors and indoors, and are pet-friendly. Activities are tailored to the individual and focus on creative, cognitive and sensory stimulation. Our specialist team looks after every need, from nutrition to excursions. Livewell provides ongoing training to our Carers, to ensure that they provide consistently excellent care to your family.

At Livewell we constantly align ourselves to global best practice in dementia care. Our goal is to be the South African leader in memory-assisted care that is not only internationally current, but also known for its warmth and for its specialised care, tailored to the individual.
