Park Retirement Village
Cnr Horton Road and Bathurst Street, Port Alfred, Eastern Cape
Settlers Park Retirement Village is in Port Alfred on the Sunshine Coast of the Eastern Cape, on a site of over 16 hectares of gardens, paved roads and homes. It first opened in 1986 and is administered by the Settlers Park Association, a registered Public Benefit Organisation and Non-Profit Organisation. According to the home's website, it is a community of about 350 residents and its Care Centre has over 30 suites with private bathrooms. Residents live in free-standing and semi-detached cottages of one or two bedrooms, which are made available on the Life-right model, and pets are welcome. The Care Centre provides longer-term frail care and shorter-term sick-bay care, and its professional nurses provide round the clock care. A home based care programme lets residents who need care stay in their own homes. The Hibiscus Room restaurant serves residents and visitors and prepares all meals for the Village Inn and Care Centre, and the village has a heated pool, a hall where classes are held, and a licensed venue run by a committee of residents called Glen's Den.
