Snowy Owl Homes is a care home in the Poortview, Ruimsig area of Roodepoort offering assisted living, frail care, memory care for people with dementia, and independent living, and it says it can adjust the level of care as a resident's health needs change. It offers country-style accommodation for single or sharing residents: shared rooms with a shared bathroom, and new studios with a private bathroom and a small kitchenette, which the home describes as ideal for couples or for a private room. It works on flexible rental packages, so there is no unit to buy. The all-inclusive package covers 24/7 nursing care, daily activities and exercises, all meals and beverages, laundry and cleaning, maintenance and gardening, 24/7 security, and free wifi with limited DSTV channels. Hair care, manicures and podiatry, a beautician, doctors' visits and other health professional services are listed as additional services. The home is run by Lynette Bezuidenhout, who holds a master's degree in nursing, and Awie Bezuidenhout, who holds a master's degree in industrial psychology. Visiting hours are 9am to 4pm on weekdays and 8am to 4pm on weekends.
Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa
We do not have Snowy Owl Homes’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.
