Ekklesia Park is a retirement village and home for the aged at 2 Park Lane, Blairgowrie, Randburg. It was founded on 19 October 1968 as a project of the Dutch Reformed Church and still functions under Tutela, the service arm of that church. The retirement village has 50 one and two bedroomed apartments, bought with life-long rights of occupation of which 80% of the purchase price is refundable. The home also has a semi-frail care section, where residents can receive help with bathing, medication and wound treatment and 24 hours supervision, and a frail care section of single or double private rooms and small wards for 5 to 8 people, with full nursing care for physically or mentally impaired people. Short-term respite care can be arranged. The home's website gives 196 residents, of whom 56% are Afrikaans-speaking and 40% English-speaking.
Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Ekklesia Park – Old Age Home’s own fees. As a general guide:
Costs vary widely: life rights purchases range from R500,000 to R5,000,000+, with monthly levies of R3,000–R10,000. Rental villages charge R5,000–R25,000/month depending on location and unit size.
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.
