Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa
We do not have John Dunn House’s own fees. As a general guide:
Frail care splits into two markets. Private care centres that publish tariffs start around R27,000/month and run past R40,000; non-profit, church-run and smaller independent homes run roughly R9,000–R23,000/month. SASSA pensioners may access subsidised frail care through NGO-run facilities, where the resident pays over their pension. Some medical aids cover frail care partially, usually for a limited number of days.
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.
