Sunnyside Village is a home with a heart.
Whether the older adult joining us is looking for residential or fully supported care (including memory care, we adapt our services to their needs.
Our residents are encouraged to customise the rooms and make them their own. There are communal lounges, dining rooms and outdoor areas where residents can socialise with one another as desired. Residents are encouraged to remain active and involved. Recreational activities include games hour, movie afternoons, as well as gardening.
The success of Sunnyside Village can be attributed to the residents’ willingness to get involved and help the team. They take on essential tasks such as assisting at reception, leading activities and working in the gardens.
There is 24-hour security with guards in attendance at the entrance gate.
The pricing for all accommodation options is based on the unit cost with consideration of each older adult’s income. The home receives some subsidisation of rent for qualifying older adults, making Sunnyside Village affordable to those who are over sixty years of age and living on a state grant or limited income. Consideration is given to under-aged disabled people to be accommodated.
Independent Living at Clivia Place
We offer independent living accommodation to people aged 60 and over, who can care for themselves, ie they undertake shopping, cooking and the general running of the home as well as taking care of their health and hygiene.
Residents benefit from living in a secure environment and easily accessible health and carer services, resulting in significant peace of mind for both the older adults and their families.
Moving into one of our villages or complexes allows residents to build connections with others and to form new friendships reducing the likelihood of loneliness.
Clivia Place comprises five attractive terrace-style and one freestanding life-right unit.
This small, peaceful complex is ideal for older adults who relish their independence but who want the reassurance of being part of the Mowana family. The units are extremely well built with a face brick exterior, while the interior design is very workable. There are one and two-bedroom units and each has a lounge/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and patio as well as a carport. (A garage for the freestanding unit).

Fully Supported Care at Sunnyside Village
When older adults need Fully Supported care we recommend a move to one of our Care Centres where we offer a full range of support (physical, psychological and social). Here, residents are invited to make the space their home, personalise the room and add creature comforts. The gardens and lounges are great spaces in which to enjoy nature and community. We encourage residents to pursue interests, have family and friends to visit and go on outings. We tailor programmes and activities according to each person's interests to help promote their independence and support their physical and cognitive abilities while enjoying their passions and hobbies.
With a nursing team around the clock, 24/7 in-room camera monitoring and on-site security, you can relax knowing that you have access to the kind or level of support needed. Our catering team ensures all meals (3 a day) are tasty but nutritionally balanced. Laundry is included in the monthly fee.
We see residents thrive as they become part of the community. They feel connected and, with the assistance of both staff and other residents, they join in. In many instances, we see them become increasingly independent. It's a new beginning.
Wherever possible, we encourage the resident, with our support, to improve their mobility as this can reduce the need for some medications and painkillers. The increased mobility also reduces the prevalence of bedsores.
Family members can relax, reassured that their loved one is in good hands. Our depth of knowledge, experience, and understanding ensures we offer seamless care to this vulnerable and valuable community.
Sunnyside Village offers a range of fully supported care options,including memory care, at different pricing points; from single rooms with en-suite bathrooms to four-bedded wards with shared facilities.
Special attention is given to each person’s habits and preferences such as the times they prefer to rise or bathe. It's important that they feel at ease. On arrival, the older adult will not just meet the team and their carers but will also be partnered with a fellow resident who will pay special attention to them until they settle in. This assists them to connect and feel at home.
Our carers are committed and passionate about taking care of residents, but they encourage the independence of the older adults as they have seen, first-hand how it improves their quality of life. As residents do more for themselves, they often then look to do more for others.
From a clinical perspective, there is a focus on mobility as this can reduce the need for some medications and painkillers. The increased mobility also reduces the prevalence of bedsores. General health also improves with the provision of tasty but nutritionally balanced meals.
Families have shared with us that here, they have seen miracles happen. Whilst a new resident may arrive frail, in a wheelchair, or with a walker, as they become part of the community they feel connected and, with the assistance of both staff and residents, they join in, and in many instances, become increasingly independent. It’s a new beginning, and often, we see their tension released as they start afresh.
We understand that the collection and management of health issues and medications is a key concern and are proud of the strong relationships we have developed with the local clinics and medical professionals.
Our prices range from our 4 bedded rooms at R14 000 per person per month through to our single rooms en-suite at R18 500 per person per month. We do offer memory care from R16 500 per person per month.
For those on limited means, we can do a financial assessment to see if they would qualify for a subsidy.
