LIVEWELL GROUP, a provider of world class memory care, appoints UK ambassador
West Sussex resident Pamela Bourne has been appointed as brand ambassador in the UK for the Livewell Group, a world class leader in memory care. Her association stems from her personal experience of Livewell and the peace of mind she enjoys knowing her own parents are taken care of in South Africa where they live.
Headquartered near Cape Town, South Africa, Livewell is an international award-winning facility in a luxurious setting. It is renowned for its person-centred approach, offering round-the-clock nursing care that focuses exclusively on dementia and Alzheimer’s. It is associated with English dementia care expert and renowned innovator Jackie Pool.
Both of Pamela Bourne’s parents have dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and have been resident at Livewell since April 2013.
“My own experience of Livewell is that my parents are being properly taken care of; that the standard of the care is first class; and I have peace of mind, knowing my parents are being treated in an excellent way on an ongoing basis,” she says.

Pamela has visited Livewell on numerous occasions, getting to know the staff and the facilities that are available. “Facilitating excellent contact between residents and loved ones in distant places is standard practice at Livewell,” she says. “You can phone, arrange to Skype, and have direct contact with the appointed care provider team.”
With representation in the UK, Livewell offers UK-resident South Africans with elderly parents back home, the ideal solution. They need look no further for top notch healthcare that specialises in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Pamela says Livewell’s main campus is situated on an estate in Somerset West some 45 minutes from Cape Town and a half-hour drive from Cape Town International Airport. Nearby is the Vergelegen Medi Clinic while Livewell’s own historic manor house incorporates a private restaurant; activity areas and lounges; and lush gardens with covered walkways. The full spectrum care programme is designed around individuals and their families, with the emphasis on specialised, tailor-made healthcare. Livewell has a resource centre; support and family counselling group; a workshop programme and conferences on memory care that are a trusted source of information to medical professionals and the public.
“We have a number of European citizens in our care as well as South African residents whose children work in the UK. The increased interest in our facilities, from the UK in particular, led to our appointment of a brand ambassador,” says Livewell CEO Jimmy Hanekom.
“In addition, our new facilities that open in Johannesburg in the next few months make our offering even more accessible.”
Pamela adds that the Livewell companionship programme is extensive and pairs trained carers with residents.
“Furthermore, relatives can stay in touch with activities at Livewell through its monthly newsletter and regular updates on its website, www.livewellsa.co.za.”
