Frail Care Facilities in South Africa

Frail care facilities provide 24-hour professional nursing care for elderly residents with significant physical or cognitive health needs. They bridge the gap between an old age home and a hospital.

Who is it for?

Seniors with chronic illnesses, limited mobility, post-surgery recovery needs, or advanced age-related conditions requiring continuous nursing care and medical monitoring.

What to expect

Professional nursing staff on duty 24/7, regular doctor visits, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, wound care, catheter management, and specialised diets. Rooms are typically shared, with private options available at higher cost.

Typical costs

Frail care costs R10,000–R30,000+/month depending on the level of care required. Some medical aids cover frail care partially. SASSA pensioners may access subsidised frail care through NGO-run facilities.
