Tafta celebrates launch of new residential complex
The complex, which links to the fully renovated John Conradie House also has access to a newly designed frail care unit.
THE Association for the Aged (Tafta) celebrated the dawn of a new era with the launch of a brand new residential complex- Langeler Towers recently. The new residential block offers more than just a home for hundreds of senior citizens. It is a symbol of hope and belonging – the culmination of a labour of love. Tafta’s commitment to providing safe, sheltered housing and care for elderly people in need within the eThekwini region, saw the transformation on the once vacant plot on Durban’s South Beach into an 11-storey residential property.
The development has contributed to the substantial investment into the regeneration of the Durban beachfront promenade by the eThekwini Municipality.
“The plot of land which was previously rented from the municipality as a recreational space for residents was later identified as an ideal site for the complex due to its location, which offers elements of relaxation, tranquillity and comfort as well as ease of access to public transport and government hospitals,” says Tafta CEO Margie Smith.
The complex, which links to the fully renovated John Conradie House, has access to a newly designed frail care unit and an extensive assisted living unit, and also offers top of the range security, allowing residents 24-hour safety.
In addition, Langeler Towers will make available self-catering units with a monthly rental option, geared so that the units are affordable. The building will become home to 900 elderly citizens offering them top class facilities and care.
