The Durban Bantu Refuge Home was established in 1960 and was renamed in honour of its founding member, Mr Issy Geshen, after his death in 1979. Services are secure accommodation, 24/7 professional nursing care, medical care, occupational therapy, social work services, social activities and events, and daily nutritious meals. Facilities include a central kitchen and dining room, a TV and recreational lounge, and specialised dementia and frail care units. The home also serves as a practical training facility for student nurses and social work students.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have The Issy Geshen Lamont Home’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.
