Anderson Cres, St Helena, St Helena, Welkom, Free State
Huis Ougoud is an aged care centre in St Helena, Welkom, a short distance from the MediClinic hospital. It offers 11 self-catering apartments for independent living, and rooms with care services: four-bed, double and single rooms, plus a bachelor apartment and a one-bedroom apartment. Care is available around the clock from trained sisters, staff nurses and carers. Residents get balanced meals, medication handling as prescribed by the doctor, laundry twice a week and daily room cleaning, with apartments cleaned once a week. The home lists palliative and terminal care, wound care, pain management and rehabilitation services. Additional fees apply to some of the services.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Huis Ougoud’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.
