Local knowledge
Living in Fish Hoek & the Far South
Fish Hoek has long been one of Cape Town's main retirement towns, with a flat main road, a beachfront walkway and a high share of older residents. False Bay Hospital serves the area, and private hospitals in the Southern Suburbs are about 30 minutes away.
Villages here are generally smaller and older. The trade-off for the seaside lifestyle is distance: allow 45 minutes or more to the airport.
About assisted living
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.
