Lotus River Place is a welfare home on Buck Road in Lotus River, Cape Town, owned and operated by CPOA. It opened in 1983 as a purpose-built facility. According to the home's website, it has 120 beds and offers 24-hour, nurse-led care. It caters for adults who are in receipt of a state pension. It provides care for residents living with cognitive and mental impairments such as dementia, residents who are physically frail, including bed- and wheelchair-bound people, and residents who need help with activities of daily living. Residents get three meals a day with morning and afternoon tea, housekeeping and laundry, and administration of prescribed medication. Therapeutic activities are offered twice daily, five days a week. The home lists a secure dementia wing, a senior centre and a hairdresser.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Lotus River Place’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.
