Beit-ul-Aman describes itself as an Islamic-oriented old age home in Mars Road, Wynberg, Cape Town, for impoverished and frail elderly people. The home is a registered non-profit organisation, registered with the Department of Social Services, and, according to its website, receives a government subsidy towards its operating needs. It is run under the auspices of the Bureau for Muslim Family Care. According to the home's website, it can accommodate up to 72 people, most of them frail or disabled, and has a permanent staff of about 50 working two shifts a day, seven days a week, including a nursing manager or matron, caregivers and general assistants. The home keeps two beds (one male, one female) open for short stays arranged by the Department. An upgrade completed in 2008 added nursing stations, a physiotherapy room and a sunroom for residents.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Beit-ul-Aman’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.
