Home Based Care
At PlumRus we understand the old adage; “There is no place like home.” and while we endeavour to create the most ideal living conditions for our guests, we can appreciate that you may not always want to leave the place that still has some sentimental significance to you. This is why we offer our home based care initiative that gives you access to all the benefits of a professional carer within the comfort of your own home. Our carers operate on a roster at a time that is convenient to you. What this means is, that you are free to select between a day and night shift, in response to your unique requirements.
Home based care includes basic physical care, light housekeeping, stimulation activities, companionship, assistance with meals and medication reminders. Basic physical care extends to the realms of proper oral hygiene, bathing practices and grooming regimens.
We ensure that the living areas that the client frequents (bedroom/bathroom/lounge and kitchen) are always neat for our clients to live in and also to receive guests. Cleaning also includes changing of linen.
Even the best of us tend to forget certain things and this is precisely why our compassionate carers ensure that you have your meals and medication at the scheduled times.
In addition to healthily prepared meals, our service offering extends to gardening and transportation requirements at a reasonably priced fee. There are few things as satisfying as a heartily prepared meal and not only will your meal be gratifying, but its nutritional value will be matched to your body’s unique requirements. Those who enjoy a spot of gardening will be happy to know that this is an area we can assist with as well, to keep you active on those sunny days. Concerned about running late for an urgent medical appointment? Not to worry, leave this to us and we’ll make sure to get you there on time and at a reasonable cost.

Day Care Services
At PlumRus we offer an oasis where people can fellowship with their peers in a tranquil setting.
It is with this is mind that we offer our specialized day care services all week, including weekends and public holidays. We also have a reasonable timeslot in effect that runs from 06h30 to 18h30. Day care services include meals, basic physical care, stimulation activities and companionship.
Our wholesome meals are dedicated to the nutritional wellbeing of our guests with menus designed by expert dieticians. This means that only the healthiest ingredients are prescribed to meet the requirements of an elderly person with just the right balance of all the essential nutrients the body requires. Tea and coffee can be enjoyed throughout the day as required. Basic physical care ranges from medication administration to oral hygiene and proper grooming etiquette.
Any form of exercise is good for the human body, which is why we at PlumRus prescribe it to our guests. As we grow older, the body loses much of the vitality it once had, but a regular exercise regime still has a multitude of benefits available to any age group. Our stimulation activities are therefore designed to nurture body, mind and soul, as well as being entertaining. Best of all, our guests get to participate in these activities with their peers, providing some much desired companionship.

Respite Care Services
Our professionally skilled team is geared towards supporting your caregiving journey of a loved one. While we know, too well, what the challenges of being a carer entails, we too understand why the caregiver needs respite. There is truth in the adage; “you can’t pour from an empty cup”.
PlumRus offers the following respite, to be enjoyed at our facility in the heart of the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
Short Term Respite from 3 nights to 2 weeks is what the caregivers will need to refuel and continue caring for their loved ones with love and compassion.
A spiritual focus is also woven into everything we do at PlumRus as a reminder to give thanks and be grateful for every moment we get to spend with those we love.
