Our independent-living homes are ordinary homes in ordinary suburbs in Cape Town.They are affordable and allow pensioners to retain their independence within their communities for as long as possible, promoting ‘Active Ageing’, a priority of Government as laid down in the recently promulgated  Older Person’s Act of 2006.

Healthy and independent residents live in any of our 12 homes in the northern and southern suburbs, Stellenbosch and Atlantis where they share rooms, costs and daily household chores with peers. These houses are safe, within communities and provide peace of mind and companionship.

Residents in independent homes pay a total of R310 per month:
-    R 85 per month is their contribution to NOAH
-    R 30 per month clinic fee
-    R 195 is their contribution to the house expenses – electricity, municipal bills, cleaning, minor equipment replacement

NOAH is responsible for all the major maintenance of the houses, provides monthly financial oversight and provides support to the residents.

Our assisted living houses in Woodstock and Khayelitsha for older people who need a degree of supervision are not frail care institutions but are small, happy homes where residents are lovingly cared for and surounded by friends.

• The fees for assisted living include meals, laundry, caregivers and medical costs.
• We cannot accommodate pensioners who are too frail or have severe dementia.
• In reality it costs us more per peson to run an assisted living home.
• The department of social development subsidises this cost.
• 45 people live in our assisted living homes.
