TygerBurger<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cCommunicare will consider the transfer of elderly tenants needing relocation to vacant units on a case-by-case basis,\u201d he said. \u201cSince Communicare does not own old age homes and is not registered to provide such care, elderly tenants are required to be able to live independently and must be in good standing with the organisation to qualify for transfers,\u201d Kubheka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pension grant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This came after the about 20 pensioners in Rosehaven Flats, who only receive a pension grant from South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) \u2013 were told in March they have to relocate by the end of May for the refurbishment of the flats. Some of them have rented units at the Communicare social housing facilities for 20 years or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rosehaven Flats was bought by Thyme Investments in October last year \u201cwith the intended purpose of running a retirement facility \u2013 mainly dedicated to assisted living for frail care residents with inclusive packages being offered, St\u00e9phane Jallat, one of the trustees of Thyme Investments, said earlier at a meeting held with tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These packages will include facility management, meals and full-time nursing services \u2013\u2002a package most of these SASSA pensioners will not be able to afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe tenants that cannot afford the new packages are obliged to relocate to alternative accommodation which will be suitable to their needs and take into account their personal circumstances,\u201d Jallat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pensioners \u2013 all between 70 and 85 years \u2013 were worried that they will not be able to reapply for other subsidised accommodation of Communicare due to the 65 years age restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thyme Investments has made the services of the social worker experts Famwell available to these pensioners to assist them with relocating. Thyme Investments has also in the meantime granted the tenants six month\u2019s notice, starting from 30 April until end October, to assist them to arrange their relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jallet said tenants must by the end of May either complete an application with the required personal assessment with Famwell or submit the proof of application made directly to alternative facilities to Famwell. A follow-up meeting will be held with tenants to assess compliance with the condition at the end of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thyme Investments also agreed to to renovate the vacant units first. When the time comes to renovate an occupied unit, the tenant will be assisted in moving to the nearest available and unallocated renovated unit for the remainder of the period,\u201d Jallat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did not anticipate need for relocation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Kubheka told TygerBurger<\/em> Communicare did not anticipate that there would be a need for relocation because the buyer (Thyme Investments) specialises in housing for the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe are of the opinion that their offering in this regard is superior to ours,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Communicare sold Rosehaven \u201cbecause it is a social enterprise that lacks the facilities and registration to provide care for the elderly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe complex, designed for the elderly, is more suitable for ownership and management by organisations specialising in such accommodations. The new owners took over existing lease agreements and obligations that Communicare had with tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHowever, Communicare engaged with tenants regularly about the sale and remains committed to helping tenants where we can,\u201d according to Kubheka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSocial housing units at Bothasig Gardens are managed by the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) and applicants must meet all the requirements as specified by the SHRA,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
