about us

comfortable & fulfilling living

It’s a place where we provide a happy, caring & secure environment. Our home is a happy place, somewhere for our ladies to live out & enjoy their golden years to the fullest. We strive to be a place where our residents find comfort, dignity and support. Our professional staff and cohort of volunteers provide elderly care across the spectrum. We offer Independent living, Assisted living as well as Frail care.

We strive to provide the best type of care for everyone who lives with us. For us, caring is a holistic function. There is a lot of focus and attention on social & entertainment activities. Our ladies also participate in exercise classes, arts, crafts, games, movie nights, bingo, concerts and talks among our numerous activities.

Essenwood Residential Home is located in Berea, on the outskirts of Durban’s city centre. The building overlooks the beautiful, leafy Berea park. Residents enjoy a pleasant living environment that is complemented by excellent care from our professional team.

We invite you to be part of our home. Whether you can volunteer your time or share your resources, you too can play a part. For us, above all, it’s about caring for those who have spent their best years caring for others…

A look into

Our World

We are a non-profit organisation that helps take care of the elderly ladies in our community. Our primary goal is to provide an affordable home for our residents. In order to remain operational, we need the goodwill of our community. We rely on your kind donations to meet our cash flow shortfalls. Our fundraising efforts go a long way in helping us balance the books. Every little bit helps to keep our world turning.
