Tuiniqua Care Centre is a non-profit organisation in George that provides housing and care for older people. It was established in 1985. It offers independent living in single and double housing units for residents who are fully self-sufficient and aged 60 or older, and a frail care unit with 15 single and 14 double rooms. Frail care includes meals, laundry, personal care and nursing, and temporary care of up to 30 days is available for post-operative recovery or respite. According to the home's website, there is an on-site clinic with a bi-weekly visit from a government doctor, a qualified social worker, a hair salon and a therapy room. A Service Centre with a library, meals and social activities such as Bingo, choir and outings is open to residents and to paying non-resident members aged 60 or older.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Tuiniqua Sentrum’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.
