Ron Smith Care Centre staff members were eager participants in Casual Day on September 7.
The Rand Aid Care Centre in Lyndhurst has a wing dedicated to caring for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and with Alzheimer’s South Africa one of the fund-raising day’s official beneficiaries, they were more than happy to show their support of the work being done by the non-profit company.
The Gauteng office of Alzheimer’s South Africa is based at Elphin Lodge Complex, which includes the Ron Smith Care Centre.

This year’s Casual Day theme was Be an Everyday Hero for People with Disabilities.
Ron Smith Care Centre’s team members dressed up as superheroes and everyday heroes.
“The fund-raising initiative created awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and gave recognition to the everyday heroes who give loving care to the elderly, frail and those living with the disease,” said Debbie Christen, Rand Aid’s manager of recreational programmes.
