Gateway House is a private mental health residence for adults at 1 Campbell Street in Waverley, Johannesburg. According to the home's website, it was founded about 30 years ago as a long-term alternative to chronic hospitalization for adults with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and it accommodates a limited number of residents. It is an open residential facility for adults with stabilised bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, in a communal, semi-supervised setting where residents take part in running the household. Live-in care worker staff are available at all times, and support includes personal care, meals, life-skills activities and assistance with transport to medical appointments and mental health clinics. Residents have private or semi-private rooms, and the house has a swimming pool, a communal lounge and dining areas, and gardens. Admission is for people aged 18 to 60 who can manage basic self-care, have a primary diagnosis of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, and are free from active substance or alcohol use. The minimum stay is six months, and the home does not admit people in an acute episode.
Typical costs for psychiatric & special needs facilities in South Africa
We do not have Gateway House’s own fees. As a general guide:
Government psychiatric facilities are free for those who qualify. Private facilities charge R8,000–R25,000/month. Medical aid may cover some costs depending on the diagnosis and benefit plan.
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.
