House El Roi, Alexandra Mental Hospital

10 Oct 2009

House El Roi is a house for intellectually challenged people that are self efficient while on their medication, but they don't have any family that are capable or in some cases interested to

take them in.

There are 22 people between 30 and 78 in the house that are

looked after by 6 personnel in 2 shifts.

They think and react like young children and needs lots of love

and attention.

Helping Angels visited House El Roi on 10 Oct 2009 to hand over fresh fruit and veggies for the

home.

3 of the residents, Anna, Mary and

Maggie is celebrating their birthday in

October so we decided to give them a birthday party!
