ABOUT PLUMRUS
Ensuring these truly are your golden years
Badisa, and therefore Plumstead Rusoord as a program of Badisa, is a ministry of compassion for the Dutch Reformed Church: Western Cape and the United Reformed Church: Cape. Plumstead Rusoord is a faith based social welfare home for the elderly which is value-driven with Jesus Christ as our role model.
As we reflect on the history of Plumstead Rusoord, home for the elderly we must honor the memory of Ds. F.N.B. Liebenberg, who initiated the building of Rusoord. Ds. Bobbie was the Chairman of the Building committee, formed in 1979 by the Plumstead Dutch Reformed Church. Rusoord was his dream came true. The first task of the building committee was to draw up the building plans. An architect Mr. Stander completed the drafting of the building plans in 1983. Meanwhile, a suitable site was selected behind the Three Arts Building and bought for the sum of R3500.00. The next task of the building committee was to find finance for the building project. Through the mediation of the Goeie Hoop Behuisingsmaatskappy and the Dutch Reformed Church organization, a bond arrangement with the government was established for the amount of 3 million rand (R3m) 1986. The building was completed in 1987, and first occupants moved in on the 1st October 1987. The home was registered for 95 residents and 46 flats on 31st October 1988. Rusoord started as one man’s dream but is now many people’s home.
Since 2011 two more buildings were built to add 48 luxury one, two and three bedroom apartments for independent living. Since 2013 Plumstead Rusoord become known as PlumRus. PlumRus Residential Accommodation consists of:
- 92 Rooms, share, single, spacious and penthouse (with own bathroom only 5)
- 40 Bachelor Flats
- 27 One Bedroom Flats
- 32 Two Bedrooms Flats
- 3 Three Bedrooms Flats
as well as PlumRus Community Service Center to be expanded as multiple community service centers in Plumstead and surrounding area.
