Great Oaks is a retirement village in the Constantia Valley, Cape Town, built on an Age-in-Place philosophy. According to the home's website, it has 53 two- and three-bedroomed cottages and 30 studio, one- and two-bedroomed apartments, designed to cater for needs from independent living to home-based frail care.

A 14-bedroom Memory Care unit has specialised nursing staff and 24-hour monitoring. The health care page presents Medwell SA, a national nursing service, as the health care specialist. Primary health care and 24-hour medical emergency assistance are included in the monthly levy. The village has a Lifestyle Centre with a restaurant, lounge and cafe, bar and function room, and a Wellness Centre and Spa with a heated ozone pool, gymnasium and therapy rooms.
