About Us

Uitkoms Care Center is a center for intellectually disabled individuals, consisting of two non-profit entities: a Company that manages the operation and an Organization that provides the facilities for the care of the disabled. The Center was established in 1990 by Mrs. Pikkie van der Merwe, the mother of a mentally disabled individual.

The Center is located on a 2.2-hectare prime urban property, near the Kolonnade Business Center, at the foot of the Magaliesberg in Montanapark, Pretoria.

At Uitkoms Care Center, we believe in the transformative power of compassion, support, and community. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a nurturing environment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our mission is to empower each resident, celebrate their unique abilities, and foster their personal growth.

With a legacy spanning over three decades, Uitkoms Care Center has been a beacon of hope, serving as a home away from home for our residents and a trusted partner for their families. We understand the importance of individualized care, tailored programs, and a holistic approach that focuses on physical, emotional, and social well-being.

Our team of passionate professionals, including caregivers, therapists, and support staff, is committed to going above and beyond to ensure the highest quality of life for every individual entrusted to our care. We embrace inclusivity, respect diversity, and cultivate an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance, and belonging.
