Welcome to our new CEO, Stanley Bawden
Flower Foundation Retirement Homes has been a pioneer in retirement living in Johannesburg for over six decades, offering a range of independent, assisted, and supportive living options for individuals aged 55 and older. With a focus on fostering quality care, community, and wellness, Flower Foundation remains committed to setting the benchmark for excellence in retirement living.
Flower Foundation Retirement Homes is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Stanley Bawden as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 November 2024. Mr. Bawden brings a rich background in leadership and a deep commitment to senior care, perfectly aligned with Flower Foundation’s mission to provide secure, supportive, and enriching retirement environments.
Mr Bawden joins Flower Foundation following 14 years with The Living Link NPO, an organisation dedicated to enhancing the lives of intellectually disabled and learning-challenged adults. His experience there was instrumental in supporting high-quality life outcomes for both the students at the training facility and residents at the independent living village. Mr Bawden brings this commitment to Flower Foundation with a vision to expand programmes that foster resident well-being, safety, and independence, while deepening community engagement across its villages.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mr Stanley Bawden to the Flower Foundation family,” said Mrs Nombuso Ramokgopa, Chairperson of the Flower Foundation Management Board. “Stanley’s dedication to improving lives and his expertise in operational excellence makes him an ideal fit for our organisation. We are confident that under his leadership, Flower Foundation will continue to be a trusted and compassionate home for our residents.”
To introduce himself to residents and staff, Mr Bawden was hosted at informal meet-and-greet sessions across all Flower Foundation villages during his first week. These gatherings provided an opportunity for residents and staff to connect personally with the new CEO and share insights into each community’s unique qualities.
“I am honoured to join Flower Foundation and look forward to working alongside such a dedicated team,” said Mr Bawden. “Together, we will nurture a vibrant and supportive environment where each resident feels valued, cared for, secure and at home.”
