“A Lively stream in the land of the rising sun”

is the meaning of the Zulu name of Wakkerstroom, a little village in Mpumalanga on the border of KwaZuluNatal.

The Dana Retirement Village in Wakkerstroom identifies very well with this name: the residents are a lively bunch of people who lives in a sunshine village. This can be qualified and substantiated by the testimonies of the residents. They live in a secure environment, large enough (18.5 ha) to feel free, there is a frail care department with 24 hour supervision to feel safe, lots of entertainment and a library to cater for most tastes.

The Frail Care Unit has 24 beds and two qualified sisters plus 18 care givers. There is a visiting doctor three times a week and always on call for emergencies.

Attached to this unit is also a medium care unit and assisted living care for the not so sick. There are 24 hour nursing services available.

The Frail Care and Assisted Living facilities are surrounded by beautiful gardens and staff, patients and residents love to sit and socialise there on sunny days. This is also a very convenient area to receive and entertain visitors. Dana has a generator so power is always constant.

Residents that are staying in semi-detached units and free-standing units create beautiful gardens and a country lifestyle. The environment is secure and residents are allowed to keep small pets.

Wakkerstroom has an abundance of interesting shops and restaurants and nearby Volksrust caters for all shopping requirements.

Dana’s Service Centre and Lapa are known for its functions and parties. One of the main events on the social calendar is the Dana Bazaar when the village, farmers and people from nearby gather to buy and sell and to have lots of fun.
