- What is assisted living at Dayspring Gardens?
- Dayspring Gardens is a small assisted living home at 209 Bellairs Drive, Northriding, Randburg. Residents live in a renovated residential house with private rooms, gardens and shared living areas, and get daily support with bathing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility, with care staff on site 24 hours a day and a visiting physician.
- Who is long-term care suitable for?
- It suits an older person who can no longer manage safely alone at home but does not need continuous skilled nursing — someone who needs help with daily living, supervision of medication, and people nearby at night, rather than hospital-level care.
- Is Dayspring Gardens a frail-care facility?
- No. It is a small assisted living home with 24-hour support and a visiting physician. Someone who needs continuous skilled nursing is better matched to frail care, and the home will say so plainly rather than accept a placement it cannot do well.
- Do you accept residents with dementia?
- Dayspring Gardens is not a specialised dementia unit. Whether a particular person fits depends on the stage and the behaviours involved, so it is assessed individually — phone +27 63 583 2543 and describe the situation to get a direct answer.
- How much does long-term assisted living cost?
- Fees depend on the level of care the person needs and the room, so there is no single published price. Phone +27 63 583 2543 or send an enquiry and you will get the actual figure for your situation, along with what it includes.
- Does medical aid cover the monthly fee?
- Generally no. Medical schemes cover medical events and treatment — doctor visits, medication per scheme rules, hospitalisation — not the accommodation-and-care costs that make up an assisted living fee. Confirm the specific benefits with the scheme in writing.
- Can we visit before deciding?
- Yes, and you should. Phone ahead so someone is free to walk you through the home and answer questions properly. There is no obligation attached to a visit.
