Healthcare
at Oyster Lifestyle Village
Our desire for every resident is quality of life. Whatever your age or heath status the right advice and care will bring improvement, even to those suffering from chronic illness. We believe that care in the home is the way of the future and our care offering is built around this philosophy.
Our services stand on three legs:
Medical emergency
Every home will be equipped with a medical emergency device providing access to a 24/7 call centre, ready to dispatch an ambulance and paramedic immediately. This device is also capable of providing remote medical services in the future.
At Oyster Lifestyle Village you are never alone, qualified help is at hand at the push of a button.
Wellness Centre
Our well-equipped Wellness Centre is at the heart of our healthcare offering and will provide the following services on request:
-
Primary healthcare delivered at the centre during normal business hours.
-
Annual health checks by appointment.
-
Maintaining resident’s health records.
-
Promoting preventative care solutions within the village.
-
Assisting residents to manage chronic conditions.
The Wellness centre is also the springboard to deliver homebased care which includes everything from wound dressing to recuperative, frail and palliative care. Services will be provided at market related prices.
Memory Care Centre
Oyster Lifestyle Village will be one of the few estates in South Africa to offer memory care. This is the modern approach to caring for those who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The prevalence of dementia is increasing steeply worldwide and while frail care can usually be provided in the home, dementia often cannot.
Oyster Lifestyle’s 20 bed specialist memory care facility will be delivered in phase 3 of the development and will bring relief to many families in the retirement village and in the greater community.
