Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa

We do not have Tafta on Ridge’s own fees. As a general guide:

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.

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.
