Huis De Kuilen
Skool Street,, Kuilsriver, Cape Town, Western Cape
Huis de Kuilen is a registered non-profit home for older people in School Street, Kuils River, opened on 19 September 1975 and established with the support of the community and the Dutch Reformed Church. It is a programme of Badisa, the church-based social services organisation formed in 2003 as a joint ministry of the DR Church (Western and Southern Cape) and the URCSA (Cape). The home has capacity for 150 residents, of whom nearly half need special care such as Alzheimer's and frail care. Alongside residential care it runs an active service centre open to people over 55 and delivers social services to the surrounding community.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Huis De Kuilen’s own fees. As a general guide:
Private old age homes charge R6,000–R20,000/month. NGO and church-run homes are often subsidised and accept SASSA pension (currently R2,400/month). Government-subsidised beds are limited and often have waiting lists.
These are typical South African ranges for this type of care, not this home’s prices. Actual fees vary by room type, level of care, and area, and they change every year - always confirm current rates with the home.
