When families begin the search for elderly care, many instinctively think of home-based support. But for those seeking a more holistic, dignified, and expertly managed solution, premium private elderly care in a dedicated dementia care facility offers far more than just assistance, it offers peace of mind, enrichment, and a better quality of life. At Livewell Bryanston, located in the leafy heart of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs, private elderly care is redefined. We provide far more than accommodation and support – we provide a community, a lifestyle, and a personalised path to wellness for individuals living with dementia or in need of specialised senior care.
Whether you’re exploring care options for a loved one or planning ahead, here’s what you can expect from a truly exceptional private elderly care experience at Livewell.
Personalised care that puts the individual first
No two people age the same way and at Livewell, we never treat them as such. From the moment a resident joins our community, we take the time to understand who they are, what brings them comfort, and how we can best support their cognitive, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
Our team designs individualised dementia care plans tailored to each resident’s needs and preferences. This includes everything from dietary choices and daily routines to memory care activities and therapeutic interventions. As needs evolve, so does the care; seamlessly and compassionately. This level of attentiveness and flexibility is often difficult to maintain in home-based settings, making private facility care a more sustainable and responsive option for long-term wellbeing.
Professional oversight and expertise
One of the most significant advantages of private elderly care in a facility like Livewell is the access to a multidisciplinary team of trained professionals, available around the clock. At Livewell Bryanston, our residents benefit from:
Qualified nursing staff on site 24/7
Dementia-trained caregivers and occupational therapists
Access to medical professionals, physiotherapists, and dieticians
Ongoing monitoring and health assessments
Emergency preparedness and medication management
This kind of comprehensive oversight is difficult and costly to replicate at home. In a facility setting, it’s built in. Families can rest easy knowing their loved one is not only cared for, but closely supported by a team that knows them personally.
An environment designed for dignity and comfort
The physical space at Livewell Bryanston reflects the same thoughtfulness we apply to our care. The estate is designed to be homely yet secure, offering freedom of movement, peace of mind, and comfort in every corner. Features include:
Beautifully furnished private suites
Secure gardens and outdoor walking paths
Elegant common areas and dining rooms
Purpose-built sensory spaces
Pet-friendly policies that support emotional wellbeing
Every element of our environment is shaped to reduce confusion, encourage familiarity, and promote calm. This design philosophy supports residents’ independence while reducing risks—something that can be challenging to achieve in a typical home environment.
A lifestyle enriched with meaningful activity
Private elderly care at Livewell is about more than just safety and support – it’s about helping our residents live well, every single day. We offer a full calendar of activities and therapies designed to stimulate the mind, encourage movement, and build connection. From music therapy and arts & crafts to gardening, yoga, and personalised memory care programs, we create opportunities for residents to feel purposeful and engaged. Our on-site team works with families to ensure activities are meaningful and tailored. For people living with dementia, this kind of stimulation can slow cognitive decline and significantly improve emotional wellbeing.
Family involvement and peace of mind
We know that families are an integral part of the care journey. That’s why Livewell maintains open lines of communication and ongoing collaboration with residents’ loved ones. Whether it’s regular updates, care plan reviews, or simply sharing a happy moment captured in a photo, our goal is to ensure families feel included and reassured. Private elderly care at Livewell isn’t about handing over responsibility—it’s about forming a partnership in care that supports the resident and their support system alike.
Facility vs home-based private elderly care
Many families are surprised to discover that the cost of premium private elderly care in a facility is often comparable to the total monthly cost of home-based care, especially when you factor in staffing, medical visits, meals, transport, and home modifications.
But what truly sets facility care apart is the value: the access to on-site experts, round-the-clock safety, structured engagement, and a sense of belonging that home care often can’t replicate.
