There are one and two bedrooms units and each has a lounge/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and patio as well as a carport. (A garage for the freestanding unit). It is strongly recommended that residents of Clivia have their own transport.

Fully Supported Care at Sunnyside Village
Fully supported at Sunnyside Village offers a range of fully supported, including memory care options 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 do our best to take the stress and strain of the day-to-day needs and so we offer 24-hour care and security as well as full catering, laundry and cleaning services. These are complemented with a range of convenience services such as transport into town for shopping.
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.
We encourage you to visit us, at 57 Mbubu Road, in the quiet suburb of Boughton, Pietermaritzburg, to better understand just where the you will be making their home. The tour includes visiting the room, the common areas and attractions.To find out more, click here.
