Did you know that 1 in 3 adults over 65 experiences a fall each year? While that statistic might sound alarming, the good news is that falls are not an inevitable part of ageing.
With proactive care, tailored physiotherapy, and a safer environment, older adults can maintain confidence, mobility, and independence well into their later years.
In our latest blog, we explore:
1. Common risk factors for falls – and how to reduce them
2. Easy home adjustments that make a big difference
3. The power of physiotherapy in improving strength and balance
4. How rehabilitation after a fall can restore independence
5. The role of professional support in retirement communities
At Flower Foundation Retirement Homes, our nine Johannesburg-based villages offer on-site care, physio support, and fall prevention programs, empowering our residents to age safely and actively.
Whether you’re planning ahead or supporting a loved one, knowledge is key. Read our blog to discover how to help elderly adults live stronger, safer lives: https://flower.org.za/.../Fall-prevention-and...

Women’s Day is more than a celebration; it’s a reminder of how far we’ve come.
This special day commemorates the 1956 march of over 20,000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, united in protest against unjust pass laws. Their courage paved the way for greater freedoms, rights and recognition for women across South Africa.
We honour their legacy by celebrating the strength, resilience and everyday contributions of women in our lives.
We’re proud to be part of a community where women continue to uplift, lead and inspire, from our incredible residents to our compassionate staff.
Happy Women’s Day, with gratitude for the past and hope for the future.

Let’s give your brain a workout: Just like our bodies need movement, our minds need mental exercise to stay sharp and focused.
Brain games, crosswords, Sudoku, memory challenges, learning a new language or hobby; these aren’t just fun, they help improve concentration, memory and even mood!
Try:
1. Daily word or number puzzles
2. Card games like bridge or solitaire
3. Learning something new (even how to use that tricky app!)
Keeping your mind active can support brain health and boost your confidence.
At Flower Foundation, we believe in whole-person wellbeing: body, mind and soul. What’s your favourite way to keep your brain buzzing?

Think Before You Click: Social Media Scams Are Getting Smarter
Social media should be fun, not stressful! But scammers are out there, and they’re clever. Here’s how to stay one step ahead:
- Friend requests from people you’ve never met? It’s okay to ignore or delete them. Not everyone online is who they say they are.
- Competitions asking you to "click and win"? Real prizes don’t ask for your personal info or payment to claim them.
- News that sounds too wild to be true? It probably is. Avoid clicking strange links even if they seem exciting.
If something makes you feel unsure, pause and ask someone you trust.
You’re never too old to be cyber-smart. Let’s look out for each other and keep social media a safe, happy space for everyone.

Scam Red Flags You Should Never Ignore
Scammers are sneaky but once you know what to look for, their tricks become much easier to spot. Here are a few common warning signs that something might not be legit:
- Pressure to act fast : “This offer expires today!” or “You must pay now or face consequences!”
- Requests for personal or banking info: No legitimate company will ask for passwords or PINs out of the blue.
- Strange payment methods: If you're asked to pay with gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers, it’s a major red flag.
Scams can happen to anyone, and they often sound convincing. Take a breath, slow down, and double-check before you share any information or send money.
Have you spotted any of these tactics before? Let’s share to protect others in our community.

Nelson Mandela once said, “It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.”
At Flower Foundation, we believe that every act of kindness, no matter how small, can blossom into something beautiful. On Mandela Day, we honour Madiba’s legacy with 67 minutes of giving, sharing, and connecting.
Whether it’s:
- Writing a heartfelt letter to a fellow resident
- Helping a neighbour with a task
- Sharing stories from the past that can inspire the future
Every moment of care counts.
Let’s continue to build a community rooted in compassion, dignity, and joy.

Looking for your perfect retirement village? Start with a visit.
Research is key when it comes to finding the right retirement village and nothing beats walking the grounds yourself!
Here are some things to keep in mind on your journey:
- Is the location close to family, shops, or your favourite walking spot?
- What facilities and services are available (think hair salon, medical support, or weekly socials)?
- Most importantly, does the place feel like home?
Don’t be shy about asking questions during your visit:
– What’s included in the monthly cost?
– Are pets allowed?
– What happens if your care needs change?
And if you can, chat with a few residents. Their insights are golden and their stories might even make you feel like you already belong.
Your ideal retirement life is out there, you just have to go and find it!
