Summervale Care Centre – Strand Frail Care
Lemoenboom Road, Gordon's Bay, Strand, Western Cape
Summervale Care Centre is a care centre in Gordons Bay, part of the Summervale Lifestyle and Retirement Village. It was established in 2009. According to the home's website, it is staffed around the clock by trained caregivers and nurses, with one staff member for every five residents. It offers assisted care inside the care centre, a frail care unit and palliative care, and the website says frail care, assisted living and palliative care all offer 24-hour care. Short stays are also offered. Medication is pre-packed and given by the sister on duty, and on-site physiotherapy is available on request. Activities include Bible study, a knitting club, music therapy, exercises by an expert, board games and arts and crafts.
Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa
We do not have Summervale Care Centre – Strand Frail Care’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.
