The Vales is a home for the elderly in the coastal village of Pennington, KwaZulu-Natal, established in 2010. It has an Assisted Living Facility for residents who are independent or may need some help with daily tasks, in single and double rooms, and a separate Frail Care Facility called Othandweni, which cares for residents with age related disabilities including Alzheimer's and Dementia. The two facilities have separate buildings and gardens. According to the home's website, nursing assistance and supervision are available 24 hours a day in both, along with 24 hour CCTV security. Residents get three meals a day plus teas and coffees, and domestic and laundry services are provided.

Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have The Vales Old Age Home Pennington’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.
