About Us
Huis Nuweland is an intimate home for retirees, whether single individuals or couples, who wish to age with dignity, respect, and love. We are located in one of the most beautiful, safe, and leafy areas of the Southern Suburbs: Upper Claremont. The mountain views from our Home — and even from the surrounding streets when we take a stroll around the block — are, quite simply, spectacular!
Our Community
We are truly blessed with a caring community around us — friends of Huis Nuweland both locally and abroad, various foundations, frequent and generous donors, as well as legacies received. They have all opened their hearts (and their purses) to this Home. We will remain forever humbled and grateful. In addition to the Board, we are fortunate to have a remarkable Residents’ Committee and a highly competent Management Team (the Huis Nuweland Executive Team/Exco) who lead our staff by setting a strong example.
Our Services
BADISA
Huis Nuweland functions as a programme under the stewardship of Badisa. Badisa is the welfare arm of the Dutch Reformed Church and the Uniting Reformed Church. Therefore, Christian compassion is the ethos subscribed to and it forms the backbone of the organisation. Huis Nuweland therefore, accordingly, welcomes all potential residents to our facility, irrespective of your religious persuasion, denomination, orientation or race.
ACTIVE AGING
Here at Huis Nuweland our residents get to enjoy exercise, spiritual and comprehensive stimulation. We offer our residents several activity options to join in, some on a daily basis. Our resident can use our various amenities to entertain their guest or to enjoy the Events hosted by Huis Nuweland.
