Testimonies

My 10-year-old son has been a resident at Sparks Estate Cheshire Home since August 2019. Rai suffers from blindness and Cerebral Palsy, including multiple spectrum disorder. I applaud the Home for their Manager and the manner in which my child is taken care of. The staff are selfless in their duties and go the extra mile. Sparks Estate is always neat and tidy and fully compliant with the Department of Health. God Bless this Home for everything they do to make my child’s stay a comfortable one.”

I’ve been a volunteer at Cheshire Home Summerstrand for 23 years; involved in many aspects such as cooking, hairdressing, working in the shops, fetes, events, gardening and administration. It’s a privilege and honour to offer my time to an organisation actively creating awareness and raising funds to provide high standards of care. The support I offer management is always highly appreciated, and the warmth and heartfelt thanks I receive from the residents – be it a smile, a laugh or a conversation – is so rewarding.“

I’ve been at Cheshire for 8 years; a private carer on some mornings helps me with my specific needs. I love the friends I’ve made here; we’re all in the same boat. There are lots of activities such as golf, arts and crafts, Bible study and games, and the shops are open daily. Sometimes we go to the beach for ice creams and other times buy meat and have a braai together. The staff are friendly and helpful, and we have a good variety of food. My dad says I’ve picked up weight… it might be the cake! I’m so grateful to everyone for making this a fun, happy place to stay.“
