Retirement is now about finding a community in which to enjoy an independent lifestyle in safe and secure surroundings.
Rand Aid Association offers accommodation in a variety of independent-living retirement villages and frail care centres. Three life-right villages, one that offers rental accommodation, and two frail care centres, are all situated a few minutes’ drive of Greenstone Shopping Centre, just off the Modderfontein off-ramp of the N3.
All accommodation choices offer beautiful grounds; well-maintained buildings; security, including access control; and a range of services and amenities that promote carefree living and the well-being of residents. Three of the villages flank the Jukskei River.
Life-right villages
- Elphin Lodge is set on 13ha of land. It features dams with extensive bird life and tranquil walks. Two-bedroom cottages and one- and two-bedroom apartments are available.
- Thornhill Manor has landscaped gardens and beautiful water features. A conservation area is situated close by, offering the opportunity for nature walks. Two- and three-bedroom cottages are available.
