The Love Care Centre

East London, Eastern Cape

Frail Care

The Love Care Centre is an assisted living facility at 37 Beaconhurst Drive, Beacon Bay, East London. It cares for the elderly, the frail and people recovering after a hospital stay. It was founded on 1 April 2021 with 8 residents and, according to the home's website, now accommodates up to 23 residents. Registered nurses and caregivers are on duty 24 hours a day. Care includes assisted living support, dementia and Alzheimer's care, frail care, palliative care and independent living cottages. Accommodation is in private rooms or shared rooms, and fully furnished independent living cottages are available. Medication is blister-packed by Beaconhurst Pharmacy, and the home provides wound and stoma care, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Three meals a day plus snacks are served, and the home is pet-friendly.

Typical costs for frail care facilities in South Africa

We do not have The Love Care Centre’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.
