Situated in the picturesque Somerset West, Helderberg Manor stands as a testament to the success of Devmark Property Group’s commitment to excellence.

This distinguished community comprises houses, garden apartments, and assisted living suites.

As demand has surged only a limited number of assisted living apartments are still available for those interested in embracing this exclusive lifestyle.

Said Dejane Ehlers Steyl, head of marketing at Devmark Property Group: “Helderberg Manor stands out as our most dynamic, sociable and lively community development to date.

“Even our assisted living suites reflect this vitality, with residents leading active lives. Services provided encompass, assistance with daily activities, housekeeping, meals, laundry, transportation, medication management as well as engaging social programmes and activities.”

Estelle Borman, resident liaison, detailed the variety of social activities and interactions available for all residents. “Weekly morning tea with cake at 11:00 fosters a wonderful atmosphere for resident socialisation,” she said.

“We organise additional enjoyable activities, and our service includes taking residents for personal shopping or lunch at nearby malls. Our dedicated staff is accessible 24/7 to ensure safety, care, and support.”

Property consultant Estelle Wilshere added that there is a common misconception about residents in retirement villages.

“As people age, preserving independence becomes increasingly crucial, and the fear of losing it is a top concern among seniors,” she said.

“Despite this, some individuals in their golden years require assistance with daily activities. What we’ve observed is that those in our assisted living suites still desire to have fun and relish life.

“The essential tasks are taken care of, providing a sense of safety and enabling them to focus their energy on enjoying life.”

Medwell SA, contracted to medical schemes for managed home nursing and care services, creates individual service plans for residents on move-in to address their specific needs, specialising in holistic healthcare.

It emphasises a proactive approach, aiding residents in maintaining an independent lifestyle and overseeing services in the Wellness Centre, managing 18 frail care beds, and providing home care services to the assisted living suites and estate.

Alongside nursing and care, around-the-clock emergency support is available for all residents, backed by a local emergency medical response team.

Helderberg Manor’s assisted living suites are sold on a Life Right basis and suites offer one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, lounge, and kitchenette.

It offers all the benefits of living independently in the welcoming retirement community of Helderberg Manor while having help nearby. Prices start at R1 285 000.

Ehlers Steyl concluded: “The Devmark Property Group’s philosophy is to offer retirees an exceptional lifestyle. The availability of holistic healthcare and home-based care services, along with the excellent facilities and security offered by Helderberg Manor, offers retirees everything and more to enjoy their golden years.
