Assisted living facilities in the Western Cape

A private room or flat with meals, housekeeping and help on hand, short of full nursing care.

What it means

Assisted living sits between independent living and frail care. Residents have their own room or small apartment, and the facility provides meals, laundry, housekeeping, medication reminders and staff on call, without 24-hour nursing.

It suits a parent who is mostly independent but should no longer live alone, for example after a fall or a bereavement.

Assisted Living: common questions

What is the difference between assisted living and frail care?

Assisted living gives support with daily life (meals, cleaning, reminders) to people who are still largely independent. Frail care provides 24-hour nursing for people who need hands-on help with bathing, dressing, moving or eating.
