Thembalami Care Centre hosts fun day
It was heartwarming to see families coming together.
Family fun was the order of the day when Thembalami Care Centre and the Max Ordman Deaf Association hosted its family day on April 12.
Family days are held regularly and provide a social atmosphere for friends and family of residents to spend quality time with them.
Music by Ian Nel and Berenice Crause, who play the guitar and piano respectively, created a soothing backdrop to the chatter of people catching up with each other.

She said the staff deserve a special thanks for the work they put into creating an inviting atmosphere for the visitors and their loved ones.
