Report Coverage

This report focuses on residential facilities/old age homes for old people in South Africa and includes information on the funding of facilities with a focus on those that are subsidised by government. There are profiles of 27 companies, NGOs and associations including Rand Aid, Algoa Bay Council for the Aged, Flower Foundation Retirement Homes, Botshabelo Haven, Free State Care in Action and Life Esidimeni.

Residential Facilities for the Elderly

South Africa’s elderly population aged 60 and over continues to increase as a percentage of the population and currently sits at 5.4 million people. There is much demand for accommodation and care for the elderly, and not enough supply, especially for affordable care, and old people continue to lack access to adequate healthcare, social support, and other basic services. Government’s social grant payments for old people and subsidies provided to residential care facilities are insufficient to cover increasing costs, forcing many facilities to close.

Funding Issues

Hundreds of organisations providing social care services across South Africa are struggling financially and have had subsidies cut. Various associations and non-profit organisations’ funds are insufficient to cover the costs of providing services to elderly citizens and they came under increased pressure as fund-raising activities did not take place due to the pandemic. This has resulted in growing deficits and closures. Only a small percentage of South Africans are financially able to retire comfortably. The development of private retirement accommodation and care is a growing sector.

High Demand

Demand for care among the elderly is expected to escalate, but South Africa is ill prepared and there is a shortage of affordable residential facilities. The shortage of trained and experienced nurses, and care workers places further challenges on the sector and various associations and old aged homes have called on government to review its funding model.

Report Coverage

The report on Residential Facilities for Older Persons describes current conditions and the findings and recommendations of the South African Human Rights Commission’s (SAHRC) investigative report into residential care. Factors influencing the success of the sector, especially the increasing importance of donor contributions, are also included. The report profiles 26 organisations ranging from regional bodies like Free State Care in Action (FSCA) and Neighbourhood Old Age Homes (NOAH) in the Western Cape to the Residentia Foundation which operates 15 facilities in seven provinces.

Residential Facilities for Older Persons

South Africa's population aged 60 years or older is expected to increase from 7.7% to 15.4% of the total population, from an estimated 4.2 million people in 2015 to 10.1 million people over the next 35 years. Currently there are an estimated 1,150 residential facilities for older persons, but only 415 of these are registered with the Department of Social Development, and only eight are state-managed and fully subsidised by the government. Countrywide there are also more than 1,000 private residential facilities and retirement villages where residents are responsible for the full cost of their accommodation.

Growing Demand for Affordable Accommodation

The growing demand for affordable and secure housing for senior citizens is a major challenge that government, non-government organisations (NGOs) and faith-based organisations (FBOs) are struggling to satisfy. As a result, many elderly people requiring accommodation have to live in unlicensed and unregulated facilities that do not comply with the provisions of the Older Persons Act. There is also a shortage of trained professional nurses and staff who are skilled to take care of older people which has resulted in incidents of neglect, abuse and even the deaths of residents in some residential facilities for older persons.
