Phyllis Robertson Home
8 Dr Savage Road West, Prinshof, Tshwane, Pretoria, Gauteng
Phyllis Robertson Home is a care home for adults with disabilities at 8 Dr Savage Road West, Prinshof, Pretoria. It is run by a non-profit organisation and has provided full-time care since 1961, for adults with physical, mental or psychological disabilities. According to the home's website, it can accommodate up to 67 residents. It describes itself as a custodial facility with nursing staff offering full-time care for adults over 16, but not frail or acute care. Residents have single rooms and three meals a day, and care workers and a nurse are on duty 24 hours a day. Day care and respite care are also offered. Whether an application can be accepted depends on space being available, the stability of the applicant's condition, the level of care required and the guardian's ability to afford the fees.
Typical costs for disability residential facilities in South Africa
We do not have Phyllis Robertson Home’s own fees. As a general guide:
Costs range from SASSA disability grant-funded beds (the disability grant is R2,400/month in 2026) in subsidised NGO facilities to roughly R8,000–R15,000/month in private facilities. In a state-contracted facility the grant is reduced to 25% (about R600/month) from the fourth month, with the subsidy covering the rest. Government-funded beds have long 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.
