Service Before Profit
Community governance keeps us accountable to the people we serve — decisions are made for residents, never for return on investment.
Before there were retirement "estates", there was a community looking after its own. That is still who we are.
Kloof Retirement Villages began in 1904 and has served the Upper Highway without interruption ever since. The Kloof Rest Home Association (KRHA) is registered with SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), exempt from paying tax, — which means every rand is directed back into our villages and the people who live in them.
Unlike developer-run estates, no shareholder waits at the end of our income statement. Our staff are here out of concern for the seniors entrusted to their care, and our management answers to the community, not to investors.
The result is something you can feel when you walk our gardens: an unhurried place, run with integrity, where residents pursue adventurous, contributing lives.
Longevity you can't manufacture — and a promise we've kept through every decade.
The Kloof Rest Home Association is established at Abelia Road, Kloof — the start of more than 120 years of continuous, community-governed care in the Upper Highway.
Over the decades the organisation grows into five villages — Chartwell, Greenacres, Kingfisher Crest, Krantzkloof Park and Vian Village — each with its own character and gardens.
Vian House assisted living and the Winston Park Care Centre bring assisted living and 24-hour frail care onto the same continuum, with preferential access for all village residents.
Five villages, a full continuum of care, and the same founding principle: mission before profit, residents before returns.
Community governance keeps us accountable to the people we serve — decisions are made for residents, never for return on investment.
The price you see is the price you pay. Plain-language agreements, transparent levies, and no surprises for your family.
Our residents contribute to village life, not just live in it. Their zest for life is, in the words of our own team, infectious.
From independent cottages to 24-hour frail care — one organisation, one standard, and a continuum that's there long before it's needed.
