Wellness Centres offer social activities and companionship
For many elderly people – especially those who are fit and active – loneliness is the greatest problem. Our social clubs and wellness centres play an important role in providing a safe place to meet new friends, enjoy a good meal at a very affordable price, and participate in activities such as bingo, bridge, indoor carpet bowls, dancing and handcrafts.
Most charge a small monthly membership fee, and are open Monday to Friday. Please see below for full details. For contact details, kindly called the Tafta Intake Division on 031 332 3721
