The Bell House
Allens Nek, Roodepoort, Gauteng
The Bell House is an adult life skills training centre in Allens Nek, Roodepoort, registered with the Department of Social Development as NPO 254-042. It supports adults living with burnout, trauma and stress, and with mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar mood disorder and schizophrenia. The structured programme runs Monday to Friday and covers life skills workshops, arts and crafts, exercise classes, music appreciation, coaching and community service, with the aim of improving self-awareness, emotional regulation and relationships with family and friends. Clients may attend part time or full time, and those who wish to live in for the duration of the programme are accommodated in shared or single rooms and take part in the daily running of the house. There is 24-hour on-site supervision from a trained live-in supervisor, and the house operates a zero tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol. The Bell House describes the service as voluntary and sets an admission gate: it supports adults with mild to moderate psychiatric disorders who are already under the care of their own psychiatrist, emotionally stable and compliant in taking their own medication, and physically fit enough to manage their own personal hygiene with minimal support. Preference is given to adults over 40. It is a drug and alcohol free residence and states that it cannot be held responsible for a client who leaves the premises during the programme.
Typical costs for psychiatric & special needs facilities in South Africa
We do not have The Bell House’s own fees. As a general guide:
Government psychiatric facilities are free for those who qualify. Private facilities charge R8,000–R25,000/month. Medical aid may cover some costs depending on the diagnosis and benefit plan.
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.
