When the Choice Is Unclear

Many people arrive at Haliford Health Group’s admissions team uncertain which facility is right for them. This is normal. Our admissions team who work across all three facilities will:

• Ask about your specific situation
• Explain what each facility does and how they differ
• Advise which is likely the best fit
• Arrange for you to speak with the relevant clinical team

You don’t need to know the answer before you call.

FAQ: Choosing the Right HHG Facility

Can I transfer between facilities if I realise I’m in the wrong one? This is rare but possible. Our clinical teams communicate closely. If your needs are better served by a different facility, this can be arranged.

Does it matter which suburb each facility is in? Primarily no you will be residential, so day-to-day location matters less than the programme fit. Cherrywood House in Constantia has a distinct natural environment; Kenilworth (both Anker Huis and Villa Consano) is more suburban.

Can I request a facility visit before deciding? Yes. We can arrange a visit or a video tour before admission.

How do I start the process? Call our admissions team at +27 60 867 3947 or email info@halifordhealthgroup.com. We will guide you from there.
