The provincial Department of Social Development funds a number of Service Centres to see to the needs of older people.

These Service Centres typically offer meals, transport to and from the Centre and a selection of additional services such as hairdressing, day care and health education.

These services are aimed at improving the quality of life of older people by engaging them mentally, offering social opportunities, and promoting their self-respect.
