Turning helping hands into caretakers.

Our Mission
Often, when care is suddenly needed for a loved one, it leaves the family overwhelmed, and difficult decisions need to be made.

Where to start?
What is the best care options available?
What kind of care do they need?
What care am I able to afford?

Depending on the needs of your loved one, a frail care or assisted living facility is always an option, but expensive.
Thus, these decisions often stem from financial considerations, a desire to maintain family proximity in the home environment, or the wish to preserve long-term residency in a familiar setting—complete with cherished pets and personal comforts.

Prepare 2 Care bridges this gap.
We provide affordable, yet exclusive and individual tailor-made training programs designed to equip selected individuals with the knowledge, skills, and compassion needed to deliver exceptional care, fostering dignity, respect, and well-being in every care environment.
This creates a win-win solution:
  • Use a trusted person instead of strangers, avoiding the risk of rotating carers who struggle to build rapport.
  • Significant cost savings compared to frail care (> R500k/year) or assisted living (R18k-R25k/month).
  • Your loved ones stay safe in their own home.
