Assisted Living and Care

A compulsory Assisted Living package applies and the resident is assessed to determine the appropriate level of support.

The care package is approximately R9 000 to R11 500 per month, depending on the resident’s assessed needs and the level of assistance required.

Services may include meals, regular wellness support, medication supervision, cleaning, laundry and access to professional care services, depending on the package selected.

Rental and Estimated Monthly Cost

Monthly rental: R10 500

Assisted Living package: approximately R9 000–R11 500 per month, depending on assessment and care requirements

Additional costs may include prepaid electricity, DStv, personal expenses and individual medical costs.

Families should therefore budget for an overall monthly commitment of approximately R20 000–R23 000 or more, depending on the care package and personal requirements.

Who is this suited to?

This option may suit an older person who:

is still reasonably independent;
would benefit from daily support and reassurance;
no longer wants the responsibility of living completely alone;
would like to remain part of an active retirement community; and
does not currently require full-time frail or memory care.

A medical/care assessment forms part of the Assisted Living placement process.

Fontaine Bleau offers a secure retirement environment with communal facilities and access to Bonheur Care Centre and professional care services. The village is conveniently situated in Welgelegen, close to medical facilities, shopping and family amenities.
