Rehabilitation & Step-Down Facilities in South Africa
Rehabilitation and step-down facilities help patients recover after hospitalisation, surgery, stroke, or illness. They provide a supervised recovery environment with access to physiotherapy and nursing care.
Who is it for?
Patients discharged from hospital who aren't yet well enough to go home - after hip replacement, stroke, heart surgery, or prolonged illness. Also for those needing intensive physiotherapy.
What to expect
Short-to-medium-term stays (2–12 weeks), daily physiotherapy and occupational therapy, nursing care, medication management, and gradual rehabilitation to restore independence.
Typical costs
Step-down care costs R500–R1,500/day. Many medical aids cover step-down care for a limited period (typically 14–30 days). Private-pay patients should expect R10,000–R25,000/month.
