Other alternatives available:-  

 Lake Farm receives calls every day from concerned parents and other organisations who are looking for suitable services and vacancies for their children or disabled persons.

Please consider and explore  the following alternatives available in SA:-

  • old age homes sometimes have flats or rooms attached to the old age home or on the same premises and a service centre for the elderly and disabled persons;
  • some old age homes and churches have their own affordable retirement villages or housing schemes;
  • some retirement villages or security villages have a service centre that provides assisted living services for even disabled adults;
  • in the cities group homes in the community accommodate disabled persons - this option seems to be the new approach away from large institutions subsidised by Department of Social Development;
  • phone the social work offices(ACVV, BADISA, CMR, Kindersorg, FAMSA, APD, etc.) or churches(especially the NG Kerk) in the rural towns to enquire regarding available services or organisations or
  • the regional office of the particular Department of Social Development in that province should be in the position to provide contact details. 

 Please phone the principal/social worker at Lake Farm Centre if you need more information regarding the above-mentioned alternatives.
