MODERFONTEIN – Health partners were on site to give motivational talks and even exhibited their services.
Rand Aid’s Thembalami Care Centre successfully hosted its first Wellness Day on February 13 in partnership with Antoinette van Niekerk of Retire at Home.
The Rand Aid care centre, which incorporates the Max Ordman Deaf Association, decided to host the event to empower their residents to take charge of their health.
This, said Thembalami manager Esme van der Walt, by providing a platform for the exchange of knowledge and to raise awareness of the health services and aids that are available.

Among the participants were Alzheimer’s SA, Ability Assist, Kind 2 Hearing, Lombard and Partners, Martin’s Funerals and Critical Care Society of South Africa.
