Bloemfontein Sentrum vir Bejaardes
Haldon Road, Wilgehof, Bloemfontein, Free State
Bloemfontein Sentrum vir Bejaardes (Bloemfontein Aged Care Centre) is a retirement and care centre in Wilgehof, Bloemfontein, with a history going back to 1942. According to the home's website, it is the largest care unit in the Free State and the largest retirement home in the country. It has three housing options: Ons Tuiste, the frail care department with a special section for residents with Alzheimer's; Aandrus, self-catering units; and Westerbloem, three sectional title complexes. Ons Tuiste offers economy single or double rooms with en-suite bathrooms, sub-economy double rooms with shared bathrooms, and one-bedroom flats with care, with semi or full care services. Nurses and carers are available 24 hours a day, although care is not one-to-one. Services listed for residents include transport to shopping centres or medical appointments, 24-hour security, a church on site, meals by a catering company, a library, daily recreational activities, a tuck shop and a hair salon, and additional fees apply for some of them.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Bloemfontein Sentrum vir Bejaardes’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.
