Laubscher Park West Cottages

“Coming to live here with my wife is the greatest move I ever made. My wife and I decided many years ago we never wanted to become a burden to our own children. Little did we realize we were about to be adopted by a whole new family that truly cared. The support I received from the ECHO staff when my wife became ill and even after she eventually passed away some four years ago – and even now – while I live on my own, is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money. Here at the ECHO Foundation people really care”

“I could not have been more blessed, coming to live here almost 30 years ago. The friendly, comfortable and secure life at the Village provides peace of mind. I have no family and when I broke my hip some time ago, I was transferred to sickbay, the care I received there saved my life. Today, I continue normally, living in my own place and cooking for myself again, with the knowledge that assistance is at hand should I need it”

God only knows what would have happened to my wife if Matron Jones did not put our case forward at the committee meeting that day. Today, I am one of many happy residents who realize how privileged we are to live here”

“Our health did not allow us to stay on in the flat where we lived before. We are very happy here and find the other residents very helpful and friendly, and our village supervisor efficient and caring”
