I have been involved with Retire@Midstream and the Frail Care facility for the last seven years. My mother was one of the very first residents in the new Care in Midstream facility in Mt. Quray Street, Midstream – and relocated from her Retire@Midstream bachelor’s unit in March 2018 when they opened their doors.
I would have gone to the ends of the earth to keep my mother in this magnificent facility – from the beautiful and well-designed building, the trouble taken to beautify the gardens and most of all the excellent level of care. It has never been a “hospital-like” environment, and the staff adopt their residents as one of their own. It was home for Mom, and I never had to worry about her. The quality of the caring – medical and otherwise cannot be found anywhere else (believe me, I looked) as I live in Johannesburg and Midstream was not exactly close by. My mother has since passed away, but I still drive through once a week to spend some quality time with my adopted family in both the residents and the staff – from Sr. Ida Britz in Nursing Management, the support staff in marketing, accounts and reception – the carers, sisters and cleaning and kitchen staff. Friendly, helpful, loving, caring and welcoming. Thank you again my Care in Midstream family for your compassion and care all-round.
