Established in 1985

Established in 1985 as a non-profit organisation, our mission has always been to provide affordable housing and comprehensive care to the elderly, seeing to it that they experience dignity and comfort in their later years. What began as a small initiative has blossomed into a vibrant community resource that offers independent living, assisted living, and a dedicated frail care unit to support every stage of ageing. Over the years, Tuiniqua Care Centre has grown not only in size, but in heart, becoming an integral part of George and its surrounding areas.
