How Do We Keep Residents Busy?
Everyone at Sunfield is unique. We screen each to establish their strengths and allocate activities according to their abilities.
During the day we accommodate our residents and day care persons in our protective workshop. Here we do contract work as well as arts and crafts activities. Contract work plays an important role as it not only keeps our residents busy, but also enables them to earn money at the end of each week for work done.
Our contracts have included work for wineries, cheese producers and Christelike Lektuurfonds (CLF) for which we have filled more than 185,000 envelopes to date!
“We are grateful to work with the Sunfield protective workshop as it lightens our load significantly and the people at Sunfield are such a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, eagerness and ability to deliver on time, make them ideal partners in Business.”
Driekie Beukes – Head of Fundraising at CLF.

What happens when the resident’s family falls away?
Sunfield Home’s Board of Directors and management evaluates whether the parents have a trust or Will in place during the application process and determines the financial sustainability thereof. It is important that parents indicate who will take over their role when they fall away. Sunfield Home doesn’t administer any trusts and therefore the parents need to appoint suitable trustees.
Are residents accommodated in smaller groups?
