Cresset House - Facility for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

Cresset House - Facility for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Cresset House is a care facility in Midrand, South Africa that offers residential and work facilities to adults who are living with intellectual disabilities.

Cresset House is a community which provides a 'home away from home' for adults living with intellectual disabilities. There is always a hive of activity in our community. From our villagers daily activities, to corporates and small business investing their time to us through partnerships, social initiatives and sustainability projects. Founded in 1961 on a large property in Carlswald, Kyalami, initially as a school for children with intellectual disabilities Cresset decided t meet the increasing demand for facilities offering care to adults with intellectual disabilities by changing the focus of its facility. Today we have over 50 villagers who form part of our family, and together we live in on a property situated in Glen Austin, Midrand. Our community is home to villagers from a diversity of cultures and nationalities, making Cresset House a place of warmth, stimulation and nurture for those that call it home.

It’s incredible to see the community come together to give our villagers from the Performing Arts Workshop group such a memorable experience.

Thank you to Kelly from our Glen Austin Residents Association for organising it and to the Pretoria Youth Theatre for their generous ticket sponsorship, hospitality, warm welcome and snacks. We were spoiled with such a beautiful morning. Meeting the cast of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This was undoubtedly the highlight of the day! 🎭✨

Our Wellness Wednesday Theme today is: “It’s Okay to Feel...”

This October, we are focusing on emotions. It's okay not to be okay. What matters is what we do next.

Take care of your mind, because your mind takes care of you.

Every emotion has a purpose. It is okay to feel happy, sad, angry, worried or frustrated. What matters is how we respond to our feelings.

Wellness Tips:
- Name your emotion: “I feel angry.”
- Take a few deep breaths.
- Talk to someone you trust.
- Give yourself time to calm down.
- Remember: feelings come and go.

Wellness reminder:
You don’t have to hide your feelings. It is okay to ask for help.

Our Villagers are up and moving with some indoor activities.

Indoor activity done right - quick stretch, big smiles, and that feel-good active feeling. 💪🏼

Our villagers are really enjoying the activities - it's not just working the body, it's refreshing the mind too. A healthy mind and a healthy body working together.

As September comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to pause and check in with yourself.

We’ve come far enough in 2026 to see what’s working, but there’s still plenty of time to make meaningful changes. Let's not waste the rest of the year. Refocus on your goals and make every remaining day count.
