Queen Alexandra Retirement Home

The Queen Alexandra Home was originally founded in 1905 by the Guild of Loyal Women as a convalescent home serving the old Johannesburg Hospital. In 1910 it became independent as an old age home and in 1947 a welfare organisation. In 1994 the buildings on site were refurbished when a new frail care unit was built.
