TAFTA's goal is to help elderly men and women remain independent for as long as possible – and services such as Home Based Care and Meals on Wheels are designed to provide the support that makes this possible.

However, sometimes it becomes necessary for a person to move into a protective environment where they can receive friendly support, including 24-hour nursing care if necessary.

TAFTA owns several retirement complexes, homes and blocks of flats, which are available for people over the age of 60 to rent or purchase on a life right basis. Click here for a full list.

Kindly note that currently all the Homes and flats have waiting lists of various lengths.

How to apply

If you – or an elderly relative – requires accommodation, kindly telephone the Intake Social Worker at our head office, on tel: +27 31 332-3721.

You will be invited to come in for an interview with one of our social workers and given forms to complete. There is a R5 fee for the forms.

Your application will then be assessed by the screening committee and placed on the waiting list for the specific building applied for.

When a vacancy arises, the Home Secretary will contact you.

General Requirements for TAFTA accommodation

Applicants must be 60 years and older, and must have been a permanent resident in Durban for at least one year.

Applicants should have a minimum income of a State Pension or a Disability Grant. If you do not have either of these, our social worker can help you apply.
