Who We Are
About Us: “Here at the Jura Care Village, we specialize in the care for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of Dementia. But what makes us who we are?
Compassion, Love, Enthusiasm, Patience, Humility, Forgiveness, Kindness; these are the cornerstones of the Jura Care Village. This is what defines us and what we stand for. Providing quality, holistic care requires a multi-faceted care approach from a place of love, patience, kindness and enthusiasm.
By engaging our residents, within our homely environment, with various therapies such as quality time with animals, music, dolls, tools, plants, and art, we encourage a sense of purpose and raise their general level of well-being. There truly is a reason why we’re raising the standards for Dementia Care in South Africa. It’s because we truly care.”

Mission Statement
Our mission is to care for people living with forms of Dementia in our home-like village whereby the desired outcome is ‘living well with dementia’. We will maintain or enhance quality of life and optimal general well-being with passionate management, multi professional team services, compassion and respect.
Our aim is to value the person, the individual… to support them to live their life as usual. And that is much easier accomplished outside the current South African care model, where cold hallways, restricting gates and fencing depict the limits of the residents’ physical and social lives. The Jura Care village is located on a 42 hectare coastal estate where our residents have ample room for continuing their lives, while being stimulated daily by the Jura Care Model.
