We offer extra care in our assisted living Combrinck House, where the staff to resident ratio is much higher than in other houses.
The Home has a full-time Occupational Therapist who plans and supervises all activities and the residents also enjoy normal leisure time. We are committed to our multi-racial, loving and caring environment, which has made us a leading Home for intellectually impaired adults in South Africa.
Combrinck House is our dedicated assisted living facility at Sunfield Home. It was designed and constructed specifically to accommodate our frail care and elderly residents.
The construction of Gregson house followed in the early eighties, named after Betty and Jimmy Gregson who took over from the de Smidts as Sunfield managers in 1970.
The de Smidt house, built in 1977, was named after Cedric and Daphne de Smidt, who managed the home from 1961 till their move in 1970. It was completely remodelled and refurbished recently.
Sunflower House was built in 2010 to accommodate the demand for more residential accommodation.
Sunbird House was built in 2000 to further increase Sunfield Home’s resident
capacity.
Londi Mjwara is the House parent of Gregson and Sunbird Houses. She previously headed up our Care Training Centre, before being appointed to this role in 2020.
Shana Reddy is the house parent at Combrinck House. She and her committed team provide special care for these residents.
Mar-Louise Pretorius is the house parent of De Smidt House. She and her dedicated team provide compassionate care for the residents.
Sunfield Home is situated on 22 hectares of sloping hillside in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Our residents enjoy beautifully grassed areas shaded by large trees, which are maintained by our committed Estate staff.
We have several sports facilities where our residents can participate in soccer, soft ball, swimming, games and more. There is a heated swimming pool, two bocce courts, as well as a putt-putt course, which the residents can enjoy.
A group of enthusiastic residents known as the “Green Gang” takes great pride in working in the vegetable tunnel.
Another feature of our grounds is our Chapel, which is an integral part of the life of residents at our home.
