Caister Lodge – Retirement Village
264 Musgrave Road, Berea, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal
Caister Lodge is a retirement community at 264 Musgrave Road in Berea, Durban, on the site of the former Caister Hotel. It has operated since 1987. Residents live in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, which are sold on a share block basis with a monthly levy. According to the home's website, the monthly levy covers housekeeping, laundry and linen, maintenance, security, utilities and a shuttle service, with meals and the clinic charged as separate monthly levies. An on-site nursing clinic offers medication management and emergency response around the clock. Assisted living is available for residents who need some daily help, and respite and short-term stays are offered. The grounds include a swimming pool, gardens, a croquet lawn, a library and a licensed bar and lounge.
