A few helpful answers
Understanding your costs.
A little clarity to help you compare your options with confidence.
How much does assisted living cost in South Africa?
The cost depends on your care community, accommodation and personal needs. The starting prices above separate rental from the service charge. Ask our team which assisted living support is appropriate and what your final monthly quote includes.
What should I compare when planning my budget?
When researching retirement accommodation or old age home costs, compare the full monthly amount, what is included and the support available as needs change. At TOTALCARE, we can talk you through the options at your preferred care community.
Are frail care and dementia care prices the same as these figures?
These are starting accommodation and service prices. They do not set out separate tariffs for every level of frail care or dementia care. Our team can confirm the appropriate care and costs after discussing your needs.
What is included in the monthly service charge?
The lists include food, utilities, cleaning, laundry and care community activities. Some also list security. Confirm inclusions, any additional services and the final quote for your preferred care community.
How long are these prices valid?
These price lists are valid until 31 March 2027. All pricing is subject to a three-month medical assessment. Please contact our team for updated prices after that date.
