Ikhaya Labantu Care Home is a residential care home in Johnson Ngwevela Street, Langa, Cape Town. According to the home's website, it is run by Ikhaya Labantu, a grassroots non-profit organisation, and provides full-time, live-in care to 34 frail and/or disabled people from the poorest communities of Langa and surroundings. The website says the home employs approximately 20 staff from the Langa area, including nurses, carers, kitchen staff and laundry and cleaning staff, and also serves as a place where students in personal care can do their practical training. It says Ikhaya Labantu was started in 1986 as a homeless shelter and has operated as a home for frail and disabled people for about 15 years.
Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa
We do not have Ikhaya Labantu Care Home’s own fees. As a general guide:
Frail care splits into two markets. Private care centres that publish tariffs start around R27,000/month and run past R40,000; non-profit, church-run and smaller independent homes run roughly R9,000–R23,000/month. SASSA pensioners may access subsidised frail care through NGO-run facilities, where the resident pays over their pension. Some medical aids cover frail care partially, usually for a limited number of days.
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.
