Stromboli's Retirement Village

 Stromboli's offers care free retirement living to folk at various stages of life, from 55 years and upwards.
1. Cottages: For those who are still totally independent and require no nursing assistance or care. The all inclusive monthly levy (currently R2,640) covers the following :

• Insurance on the structure
• Water & rates
• Maintenance on the unit, excluding consumables and interior painting
• Maid service twice a week: Max 3 hours (no maid service on public holidays)
• Laundry service: goes out on maid’s day, comes back the next day, unless your day falls on a public holiday, in which case there is no laundry service
• General garden maintenance plus the use of a gardener once a week (excluding public holidays) for any specific gardening work  required by resident – max 2 hours
• 10 main meals from the dining room per unit per month

Electricity is billed separately for each cottage and reflected on the levy invoice.

Our transport goes to town twice a week and residents may go along at R20.00 per person per trip. Our kitchen is outsourced to Cape Food Services and Solutions - www.capefoodservices.co.za - and our meals are of a high standard. Marietha Swart from Cape Foods is our very capable kitchen manageress. The main meal is served at midday in the dining room or delivered to your cottage. Additional main meals over and above the 10 levy meals are charged to the levy account at R30.00 per meal.

Nursing assistance is available to cottage residents if required and is charged according to frequency.

3. Frailcare: Our main Frailcare block accommodates 6 people and we have an annex near the Frailcare where two rooms share a bathroom. The Frailcare has its own "Secret Garden" where residents enjoy a quiet morning in the sun or a cup of tea, while watching the birds. Currently, the Frailcare levy is R13,000.00 per month, which includes total nursing care 24 hours per day. There is a Registered Nursing Sister on duty or on standby 24 hours per day, as well as two teams of day and night care givers. A non-refundable Bed Charge (currently  R10,000.00) is payable on admission to long term Frail Care. Short term Frailcare (post-op care or convalescence) is available to residents and non residents on a daily tariff.  Our Frailcare includes a lovely large lounge/dining area and is most welcoming to all who pop in for a visit with a resident or to see the duty Sister. Frailcare sundowners are enjoyed around the wood burning Jetmaster on cold winter evenings.

Village Life: The following activities are regulars in the village: bridge, scrabble, weekly Bible Study, monthly communion service, music afternoons, DVD’s shown in the main lounge or in Frailcare on a regular basis, sport on the big screen on a Saturday afternoon.

Every 2^nd Friday we have Happy Hour from 17h00 to 18h30 in our pub.

A great effort is made to ensure special events such as Christmas are indeed special for everyone at Stromboli's, whether resident or in Frailcare - our dining room can accommodate all who wish to be a part of the festivities.

In summer our pool and braai area is very popular, frequently being the venue for an impromptu  residents’ bring and braai.

Being open plan, the lovely gardens are enjoyed by everyone.

A Life Right purchased from Stromboli’s Retirement Village remains in place until the Life Right holder leaves or passes away. The relevant unit is then sold by the Village at current market value, 20% of which is retained by the village. This capital inflow is designed to stabilize the levy fund and provide for any major capital projects from time to time.
