A private unit (apartment or room) with personalised care plans. Staff assist with agreed-upon tasks while encouraging independence. Common areas for socialising, optional meal plans, and emergency call systems.
Typical costs in South Africa

How to Choose an Assisted Living Facility in Western Cape
Define exactly what help is needed
Assisted living covers a wide range. Write down precisely what your person needs help with - medication, bathing, dressing, meals, mobility - and match it to what the facility actually provides. You want to pay for the level of support you need, not a blanket package that bills for care you won't use.
Care that scales as needs change
Ask what happens when your person needs more care. The best assisted living sits on a campus that also has frail care, so they don't have to move when their health declines. Ask exactly how the care levels - and the fees - step up over time.
Independence with a safety net
Good assisted living preserves dignity and independence while providing support where it's genuinely needed. Check that residents are encouraged to keep doing what they still can, that help is targeted rather than total, and that there is an emergency call system in every unit.
What's included vs. what's extra
Clarify exactly what the monthly fee covers - which meals, how much personal care, cleaning, laundry - and what is billed on top. Personal-care hours, nursing visits, and incontinence supplies are common extra costs that add up quickly, so get the full picture in writing.
