GO REPORTER
A new home for seniors is
opening in the Summerpride
area. This brings forth the dream
of Sister Roni Goldblum, who has
had a lifelong career of caring for
others in various institutions.
Ever since the age of nine,
Sister Roni has wanted to nurse all
manner of creatures and humans
back to health.
She started her training at
Frere Hospital and finishing at the
Mater Dei Hospital, also
delivering many babies during
her seven years of tenure.
Since then, she has run the
Salvation Army Clinic, working at
various old age homes, including
Lily Kirchmann. Then she took up
employment at McClelland Adult
Centre where she worked for 22
years until her retirement.
At McClelland, she looked
after 73 residents, some of which
required tender and specialist
care. Not ready to fully retire, she
is now in a position to give a few
more people a safe and happy
home which she does so well
with such passion.
In establishing Roni's Haven
Senior Care in Summerpride
Estate, Sister Roni will be teaming
up with Simon Kirk who adds his
business experience to the
ve n t u r e .
Sister Roni not only offers
quality home care and a happy
atmosphere, she also attends to
health issues such as wound
dressing, blood pressure and
glucose monitoring.
- Sister Roni can be contacted
at 073-198-4600.
