EDITH DULY NURSING HOME, BULAWAYO -
50 YEARS OF NURSING CARE EXCELLENCE
This year Edith Duly Nursing Home celebrates its 50th anniversary.
In the intervening years, we have grown from a modest 18 bed geriatric
home to 75 beds offering not only general care, but full frail care
administration. Accommodations are in 4 to 6 bed male/female wards,
semi private or private rooms, with or without en suite bathrooms and
three double units to accommodate couples. Full boarding facilities
(laundry, meals, teas) are included in the fee structure as well as 24
hour nursing care and assistance. Arrangements can be made for
residents accommodated in private rooms, who wish to have their own
private nurse. Although originally intended as a geriatric home, at the
discretion of the Board of Trustees, Edith Duly will consider under age
persons who prove the need for nursing care or assistance.
In late 1986, with the help of a number of well wishers and especially,
the Lions Cub of Matopos, a Convalescent Unit was opened. Patients
are admitted to the Convalescent Unit, via their medical practitioner,
for a period of up to one month. This interim assistance has proved
invaluable for patients leaving hospital, but who are not yet ready to
return home; and to families who have needed to reorganise their own
home environment when a loved one has incurred a medical trauma.
No institution such as ours could have survived the economic turmoil
of the last few years without the outstanding generosity extended by
the public and donors. This year we have been able to install solar
geysers and lighting panels, make much needed repairs to the roofs
and are thrilled at the imminent installation of an electric oven to assist
our very old, though much loved AGA stove.
We have also enjoyed the benefit of a state of the art computer with
UPS and a wonderful industrial wet/dry vacuum cleaner. It is hoped
that this year we will also be able to make the very much needed
repairs to floors through-out. In addition to our regular donors who have
been supplying up to 80% of our food requirements, we have received
unwavering support from well-wishers in the form of staff uniforms,
clothing, blankets and Christmas goody bags for residents. These
donors are not only local, but many are from South Africa and
Botswana.
Another invaluable source of assistance has been The Morning Mirror.
Advertising revenue generated has been passed on to us and we wish
to take this opportunity to thank all those involved. The unsung heroes
who voluntarily administrate the smooth collection of funds are cordially
praised indeed!
To celebrate our 50 years of excellence Edith Duly Nursing Home is
planning a fun day / open day event in September and we hope to see
many of you then. We would be so proud to have you tour our Home
and see for yourselves the magnificent accomplishment that is -
