Sister Groenewald bids farewell

Groenewald was night duty sister at the Ron Smith Care Centre at Elphin Lodge Retirement Village in Lyndhurst. Before she joined Rand Aid, she nursed at the Mines Benefit Society and Princess Nursing Home, doing night duty at both.

“My body’s internal clock is slowly adjusting to me no longer being nocturnal,” she chuckled. A resident of Tarentaal Retirement Village, which is also part of Rand Aid, she intends to visit the care centre often because she already misses the residents and staff.

She was full of praise for the organisation, the work it does, and the many happy years she spent there.
