Find the right care for
someone you love.
A Medwell nurse can visit at home for wound care or help after a hospital stay. Families can also arrange daily care at home or find a Medwell care centre.
HOW WE HELP
Care where they are,
or a place to move to.
If they can stay where they are
A nursing visit or daily care at home
A nurse can visit to assess a wound and change a dressing. For everyday help, a carer can assist with washing, dressing and meals.
If home is not working any more
A place to live
Our nurses attend residents at all of our 25 estates; 18 of which have a Medwell care centre on site.
Where we can help
Care at home.
Across South Africa.
Tell us where care is needed and a little about the person. A Medwell care coordinator will help find the right support.
Dementia and memory care
Can Mom still
stay at home?

Life in a Medwell estate
Our family,
caring for yours.
Life here is about feeling at home, enjoying familiar routines, making friends and having people nearby who care.
When extra support is needed, Medwell’s care team is there to help, giving families more time to simply enjoy being together.
What families say
Reviews in their own words.
Medwell checks references and criminal records for every carer before they work in a private home. For managed home care, a registered nurse introduces the carer and explains the care plan. The care manager arranges follow-up visits with the family.
Home care after discharge
Julie came home with us that very day. The atmosphere in our home changed immediately, we felt “held”, Julie’s skills are unmatched.

I moved here in 2024 and immediately felt at home. A huge thank you to management, staff and residents for making this the best place to stay.
Planning care
Common questions about arranging care.
What does care at home cost?
The type of care and the hours needed determine the quote. A coordinator checks availability at the address and discusses the costs before care starts. See how the quote works.
When is a nurse needed instead of a carer?
A carer helps with daily routines. A registered nurse provides clinical care such as wound dressings. Compare carers and nurses.
How can care be arranged after hospital discharge?
Tell the team when discharge is expected, where the person will recover and what help the hospital recommends. See recovery and rehabilitation options.
A conversation is a place to start.
Describe the care needed. A care coordinator can help with the next step.
