Thembalami Care Centre’s recreation department has launched a new initiative to enhance the quality of life for residents experiencing mobility challenges.
These time-out sessions are designed to provide residents with opportunities to engage in social activities and enjoy outings, even if they are unable to shop independently.
On November 8, residents Carol Schneider and Inge Karle were treated to a special outing, accompanied by Thembalami occupational therapist (OT) Tsakani Shihlomule and assistant Shirley Sibeko
Carol indulged in a beauty session at Dis-Chem Pharmacy while Inge happily browsed at Pick n Pay and Dis-Chem. The four ladies then enjoyed a snack at Spur.
“These time-out sessions are invaluable for our residents,” says Tsakani. “They provide a much-needed break from their daily routines and allow them to socialise, have fun, and feel valued.”
Thembalami Care Centre is committed to providing comprehensive care and support to its residents. By organising these time-out sessions, the centre aims to foster a sense of community, promote mental well-being, and enrich the lives of its residents.
