“The Gauteng Department of Social Development sponsored these pamper visits,” explained Trudy Carreira, Rest-a-While manager.
“We think this is an amazing initiative by government as it is something not many elderly citizens have money for and the spoils mean so much to them.
“To see the joy and appreciation on their faces is just wonderful.”

Personnel from Primrose-based Ackermans Pharmacy were also on hand and took the members’ vitals, like blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and also administered flu vaccines, making sure the elderly residents focus on their health.
“The members had such a nice day,” said Trudy.
