Sunnyside Lodge is a home for the frail aged in Plumstead, Cape Town, established in 1959. It is a registered non-profit organisation that offers nursing care to the elderly, and it is affiliated to the Seventh-Day-Adventist Church. It began by providing accommodation to the elderly and went on to offer nursing care and frail care, including care for the mentally and physically frail and the terminally ill. Its website says it also offers assisted living. The website also says the home cannot bear the thought of turning away people who need its services, regardless of their financial background.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Sunnyside Lodge’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.
