In 1993, the Manger recognized the dire need of care for elderly and disabled people. We established the Manger Marine Home in Uitzicht to cater for their special needs. Our residents at Manger Marine are reliant on a government pension or disability grant and this makes care in a private facility unaffordable. Marine currently houses, feeds and cares for over 110 elderly and disabled people.

 

Facilities available for the Residents:

 

·          Kitchen Facility

·          Pantry

·          Laundry

·          Medication Room

·          Admin Office

·          Fundraising Office

·          Dining Room

Accomplishments:
·  Cupboards have been built at Head Office and installed for the various
   rooms.
·  We encourage the residents to do daily tasks and endeavor to make them as

   comfortable as possible in their retirement.
