Property prices are high, so life rights here usually cost more than in Paarl or the Helderberg. Villages range from in-town apartments to estates on the edge of the vineyards.
About old age homes
An old age home (also called a home for the aged or residential care home) provides a room, meals and personal care in one place. Many in the Western Cape are run by churches or non-profit organisations, and some receive a subsidy from the Department of Social Development, which can make them more affordable.
