Santos Haven is a retirement village in Mossel Bay run on a Life Right system, structured as a Body Corporate and registered as a Non-Profit Organisation with registration number 003/724 NPO. It was started as a Rotary project in 1985 and has grown from an initial 50 cottages, built in 1986, to 208 units/cottages with 2 Service Centres: one-bedroom houses without a garage, one-bedroom units with a garage, and two-bedroom units with a garage, many of which have since been modified. Its Community centres offer a kitchen, dining room, community room, conference facilities, lounges and a library, with a hairdresser at the second phase. It has 2 Sick Bays with 52 Sick Bay beds and a Frail Care Centre (Assisted Living) with 16 flats, added in 2004. A nursing manager is in charge of all the nursing personnel and frail care centers, including the assisted living quarters, and residents carry a panic button so a qualified staff member of the frail care team can attend to the call. The property has 24-hour CCTV security with guarding and secure fencing. Santos Haven describes itself as the flagship for retirement villages in the Southern Cape, citing a long waiting list of nationwide applicants; its application page separately says the waiting list lasts about 12-14 years.
