Monte Rosa is an old-age home at 5 Faure Street in Gardens, Cape Town, housed in a Victorian building that was originally constructed in the late 19th century. It is home to both independent residents and those who need additional care. Single rooms are available in the independent living area, frail care has single and shared rooms, and there is a dedicated dementia ward with single and shared rooms. Professional nursing staff are present throughout the day and night. Accommodation includes 24-hour nursing care, daily meals, security, housekeeping and laundry. Residents also have a library, a tuck shop, a communal tea room with DSTV and a hair salon on Tuesdays, and transport is provided to medical appointments and hospital visits. Families are asked to keep to limited visiting times so staff can care for frail residents. According to the home's website, there is a waiting list.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Monte Rosa’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.
