Sherwood House Nursing Home (Cape Town)
19 Sherwood Ave, Kenilworth, Cape Town, Western Cape
Sherwood House is a nursing and residential home at 19 Sherwood Avenue in Kenilworth, Cape Town. According to the home's website, it offers permanent or temporary accommodation in private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, private rooms with shared bathrooms, and semi-private rooms for two sharing, as well as frail-care facilities with 24 hour nursing care. Residents receive full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus morning and afternoon teas. Special dietary arrangements are catered for and laundry is done on the premises. Extra services include a hairdressing salon, a private physiotherapist, private podiatrists and Pilates classes. Medical aids will in some cases, by prior agreement, cover the nursing portion of the fees of temporary patients. The original manor house was built by the botanist Dr Harry Bolus, and new wings were completed in 1997.
Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa
We do not have Sherwood House Nursing Home (Cape Town)’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.
