What we offer...

Brunfelsia is a small family-orientated care centre for the elderly consisting of 6 spacious frail care rooms (big enough for singles, couples or sharing), 12 bedsitters and 6 flatlets

Our 28 residents, between the ages of 60 and 94, enjoy the fresh air, beautiful views and an uncomplicated lifestyle which the country offers. 


Our residents enjoy the benefits of 4 qualified sisters and 7 nurse aids. Our frail care facility boasts a ratio of 1 sister and 2 nurse aids for 9 patients.

Necessary amnesties such as shops/cafes and doctors are a stones throw away in Wartburg (10 Km) or Dalton (5 Km) & Pietermaritzburg (30 Km) away.

We organise weekly outings around the area and trips to Wartburg village (grocery shopping, coffee shop etc.) and monthly trips to Pietermaritzburg. We provide aided transport in our Brunfelsia bus.
