Erica Place is a frail care home on Overton Road in Silvertown, Cape Town, run by CPOA. It was the second home CPOA established and opened in 1963. According to the home's website, it has 81 beds and provides 24-hour care, with nurse-led care by day and night staff, a shift leader on each shift, an administrator from Monday to Friday, and day and night security. The home is divided into frail care sections (Blocks A, B and C) with shared rooms. There are two dining rooms, an activity room, a communal lounge with a large smart TV, and outdoor areas. To be admitted to CPOA's sub-economic homes, an applicant must be over 60, need 24-hour care, and be destitute or able to show caregiver burnout, among other requirements.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Erica Place’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.
