Brits Rusoord is an old age home at Kerkstraat 62A in Brits, North West. According to the home's website, it was founded in 1970, provides accommodation for 110 residents, and the average age of its residents is 82. The website lists 14 one-bedroom flats and 16 bachelor flats with occupation rights for independent and self-sufficient residents, and 41 single and 12 double rooms with shared toilets, bathrooms and showers for self-caring residents. A care section for frail, dependent residents has single rooms. The website lists a dementia and Alzheimer's section with 10 single and 2 double rooms, a private sitting and dining room, DStv and a private garden, with 24-hour care. The website states that the home provides 24/7 professional nursing care and supervision, and the level of care is assessed for each resident. It also offers temporary care, for example recovery after an operation or when a home carer is on leave or ill, and day care. Residents are represented by a residents' committee that meets monthly with management.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Brits Rusoord’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.
