Sunfield Home is a protective workshop and residential centre in Wellington for intellectually disabled adults who are unable to function without guidance and protection. It is a registered non-profit company, founded on 1 January 1991. According to the home's website, it has 103 residents and 12 day-care individuals. Accommodation is in units with individual rooms and shared bathrooms and lounges, in Huis Liebenberg (built in 2015, accommodation for 16 lower functioning residents who need constant care and guidance), and in 31 single-occupancy residential flats, where residents are encouraged to live as independently as possible with staff support. The residential facilities provide 24-hour support, and the home also runs day care programmes. Most residents attend the workshop during the day, where contract work and arts and crafts are done. The home does not have a frail care unit. Applicants must be men or women older than 18 with an intellectual disability.
Typical costs for disability residential facilities in South Africa
We do not have Sunfield 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.
