This levy allows Auria Senior Living to take care of community management, maintenance, security and the provision of services in the senior living community.
Meet San Sereno Resident– Vicky Lavagna-Slater

Vicky moved to San Sereno in May 2022 after having called Vanderbijlpark home for many years. Her husband had passed away, and she craved companionship. She particularly appreciates the friendly residents and staff, as well as the property itself, particularly the meticulously maintained gardens by the dedicated staff and residents alike.
Vicky has an active social life at San Sereno and plays bowls regularly, a pastime that has brought her immense joy and well-being. She also makes use of the heated pool to do aqua aerobics classes and enjoys a vibrant social calendar filled with art classes, bingo nights, and social gatherings organised by San Sereno.
Vicky describes San Sereno as a happy place where conveniences are close at hand, like a coffee shop, hairdresser, restaurant, and cinema. Adding to its charm is its prime location, making shopping excursions to Nicolway, Sandton City, or Fourways Mall hassle-free.
Vicky highly recommends San Sereno for anyone seeking a secure, welcoming, and impeccably managed community to call home.
