Our
History
Huis De Kuilen was established with the financial support and assistance of the community and the Dutch Reformed Church. We provide not only a home for the elderly but also deliver services to the community through an active service center. Huis de Kuilen is part of the Badisa program.
Huis De Kuilen was officially opened on 19 September 1975 by the Hon. Chris Heunis, then Minister of Economic Affairs.
The facility has a capacity for 150 residents, of whom nearly 50% require special care, such as Alzheimer’s and frail care.
Here, we are blessed with residents who have century old life stories to share.
Programme of
Badisa was formed in 2003 as a joint ministry of the DR Church (Western and Southern Cape) and the URCSA (Cape). It is a church-based social services organisation, which provides services in the Western, Northern and Eastern Cape, focusing on the care, social development and treatment of indigent and vulnerable people of all ages, race, gender and religion. They are committed to caring for those in need in a practical and sustainable way and therefore take a holistic approach in providing these services, from cradle to grave.
