Flowers in Randburg

The Flower Foundation Retirement Homes provide excellent accommodation and care for the elderly in the Johannesburg area, ranging from independent living to frail care facilities.

In 1963, three extraordinary people, Moray Franz, Florrie Richter and Dr Archie Borowitz founded the Flower Foundation, to provide accommodation and care for men and women over The idea came to them from Sweden where people were encouraged to give money towards the elderly in memory of a loved one, instead of giving flowers, when they died. These enthusiastic and determined people paved the way for what is now known as the Flower Foundation. The Flower Foundation caters for the needs of our elderly by providing suitable accommodation and care. Taking into consideration the diverse cultures of our society, we offer the advantages and economies of community living. The Flower Foundation aims, as far as is practicable, to provide security of tenure and to empower the elderly with continued home ownership. When failing health makes this no longer possible, the Flower Foundation provides expert nursing and care for its residents. The Flower Foundation seeks to use all current knowledge to extend the years of active, healthy and useful living and encourage continuing purposeful lives. The Flower Foundation is a non-profit organisation and receives no financial assistance from Public Funds in respect of its current expenses and operational costs. It operates on a self-supporting basis, whereby each unit meets its expenditure out of its own current income. This income is derived from fees levied on each unit. There is a great need in the community for the kind of accommodation, security and companionship, which the Flower Foundation is able to offer, and we are anxious to meet this need as far as our resources will permit. For some of its funds, and for the provision of capital to extend its activities into other communities, the Flower Foundation relies heavily on donations and bequests. You could donate an amount of your choice to one of the Flower Foundation’s Funds or Trust. You could become a volunteer worker in any one of our units and assist us in continuing the inspiration of the Flower Foundation founders.
