The Unitas Hospital and the 1 Military Hospital and pharmacies are situated in close proximity to the Protea Retirement Village Heuwelsig.

We offer strict 24-hour entry control with only one entrance to the security village. We also have security personnel that patrol the villages at night. The perimeter of the Villages is enclosed with an electric security fence and the security efforts are monitored by a highly accredited security company and armed response unit.

Each unit in the retirement villages is provided with a remote controlled panic button. When used, it is registered at the Security Office and Frail Care Centre that assistance is needed at the unit.

The safety of the Residents is one of the villages major priorities and we strive to guarantee a peaceful and safe reside in the villages.

We offer the following activities at the security villages:

• Special lunches, guest speakers and entertainment;
• Socials;
• Movie and music evenings;
• Excursions to theatres, garden expos, and more;
• Bingo, snooker, putt-putt and bridge card games.

We offer strict 24-hour entry control at our retirement villages with only one entrance and security that patrols the village at night. The villages are surrounded by a security fence as well as an electric fence on top of this. The security of the villages is managed by a highly efficient security company with armed reaction.
