Villa Assumpta Village is a community for older adults in Wembley, a northern suburb of Pietermaritzburg, managed by Mowana Communities. According to the home's website, it is a small community of 54 older adults. It offers residential living and assisted living in single and double rooms, and some rooms have kitchenettes or verandahs. Residents can customise their rooms. There are communal lounges, dining rooms and outdoor areas, and a chapel that hosts chapel services. Recreational activities include games hour, movie afternoons and gardening. The village offers 24-hour care and security, full catering, laundry and cleaning services, and transport into town for shopping. It was run for many years by the Oakford Congregation of Dominican Sisters, and Villa Siena next door is still home to retired Sisters.
Typical costs for old age homes in South Africa
We do not have Villa Assumpta’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.
