Everything you need
All TAFTA services are geared to promoting the welfare and happiness of aged people, and alleviating distress and hardship.
Although we run several homes for the aged in and around Durban, our goal is to encourage elderly men and women to live as independent members of the community in their own homes for as long as possible.
We do this by offering support services such as:
- Home Based Care (help with personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, etc)
- Meals on Wheels (daily cooked meals delivered to your door)
- Laundry scheme (fresh sheets, pillow cases and towels supplied weekly)
- Hire of assistive devices (wheelchairs, walkers, etc.)
- Respite care
(short term care and rehabilitation after an operation or illness, or when care-givers need to take a break)
- Servi
 ce centres (meals, activities and companionship)
- Support groups (for victims of stroke, Alzheimer's, etc.)
- Social Work services and advice
- Advisory clinics (blood pressure testing, dressings, injections, glucose monitoring, etc)
- Education and awareness of issues affecting the aged
Because most of these services are either free or subsidised to allow access by elderly people with limited means - we rely heavily on support from caring individuals and local business.
