History
Kennersley Park Old Age Home was opened in 1974 by the South African Red Cross Society (Border Region) to cater for the needs of the elderly. In 1994 Leisure Homes for Senior Citizens took over the management of Kennersley Park with two other Homes i.e. Langham House in the Quigney and Amatola Haven in Stutterheim (which is now run independently).
At present, Leisure Homes for Senior Citizens has three divisions namely Langham House with accommodation for 86 Frail Aged, Kennersley Park with accommodation for 168 and the Housing Division with 148 Cottages. Both Langham House and Kennersley Park have Residents that are partially subsidized by the Department of Social Development.
