Huis Sorgvry Aged Care Centre is in the Eastern Free State town of Reitz, which is 53km from Bethlehem, where the nearest hospital with specialised services is. According to the home's website, the centre has 38 self-catering apartments for people who can live independently: bachelor apartments, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. It also has full-care rooms where all meals and frail care are provided, for people who are frail, including people with dementia, who are bedridden or who are wheelchair-bound. Trained staff help with the medical and physical care and nutrition of frail elderly residents and younger residents with special needs. Trained sisters are on duty, carers are available 24 hours a day, and there is 24-hour security on site. Respite care is offered when children go on holiday and want to leave their parents in a safe environment, and rehabilitation services are available after an operation. Additional fees apply for some of the services.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Huis Sorgvry’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.
