Huis Lafras Moolman
PO Box 150, (29 Brand Street), Rawsonville, 6845, Rawsonville, Western Cape
According to the home's website, Huis Lafras Moolman in Rawsonville accommodates 114 residents, older people from the valley and surrounding area. It was inaugurated on 19 May 1973. The main building has 30 rooms, including a section for frail residents, and there are also 41 flats. The home lists nursing services around the clock, seven days a week, and hospital beds for frail residents; medicine is checked by the nurse on duty. Residents get three balanced meals and two tea times a day, rooms and flats are cleaned, and residents' clothes are washed and ironed. The weekly programme includes Bible study, a keep-fit class, bingo and games, and a bus goes to a local shopping centre every two weeks. Applications are handled by a selection committee that scores distance from Rawsonville, years on the waiting list and health.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Huis Lafras Moolman’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.
