Age changes things.
Care changes everything.
Everyone deserves to grow older with dignity, independence and people around them.
Algoa Bay Council for the Aged brings practical support and human connection to older people in our community—especially those with limited means. Since 1961, our work has grown around one simple idea: nobody should feel forgotten.

A circle of care.
Since 1961.
ABCA began by coordinating support for older people in Port Elizabeth. Social work followed in 1966, with the city’s first service centre opening in 1967.
Our work supports independence and participation in community life, with particular care for older people with limited means.
