Pioneer House Care Centre is in Oaklands, Johannesburg, and has been part of Flower Foundation since 2003. According to the home's website, it was established in 1945. It offers assisted living for people who need support with bathing, dressing, medication management, meals, laundry and housekeeping, and frail care for people who need constant support and 24-hour supervised care. Rooms are private with en-suite bathrooms or shared, and frail care also has single rooms without a bathroom. The centre is surrounded by gardens and has a chapel, a lounge and a dining room. Social activities, arts and crafts and exercise classes are offered, and a hairdresser, a visiting doctor and a visiting podiatrist are available. Viewings are by appointment.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Pioneer House’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.
