Elder Care
Est. Johannesburg · Private CareCare of a quieter,
Care of a quieter,
more considered kind.

Compassion firstDignity & respectPrivacy protectedFamily-centredReliable communication
01 — ServicesFour disciplines.
Four disciplines.
One household at a time.
We don't run rotating shifts. Each placement is a single caregiver — or a discreet pair for night and day cover — matched to your family's temperament and clinical needs.
Specialised
Alzheimer's & dementia care, delivered with patience.
Caregivers trained in routine anchoring, sundowning protocols, and the small environmental cues that preserve a person's dignity through cognitive change.
Live-in available
Childcare
Day & night.
Home
Light household & meal support.
02 — The approachWe move slowly,
We move slowly,
on purpose.
Inviting a caregiver into your home is an intimate decision. Our process honours that — no contracts signed in haste, no caregivers met at the door for the first time.
I
Private intake call
A 30-minute conversation with Grace to understand the household, the person needing care, and the rhythm of your week.
II
Matched, not assigned
We propose two caregivers from our circle — each chosen for temperament, language, clinical experience, and discretion.
III
Quiet first week
A trial week with daily check-ins from Grace and Anita. We adjust without question if the fit is not right.
IV
Continuous oversight
Monthly review, transparent log notes, and a single point of contact — not a call centre, ever.
03 — Meet the teamThe hands
The hands
behind the name.
Graceful Hands is led by two partners who know every family on the books by name — and who answer the phone themselves.
Founder & Lead Caregiver
Grace
Senior Care Specialist
Grace is dedicated to providing compassionate, respectful, and dependable care that brings comfort, dignity, and peace of mind to families and their loved ones.
Co-Founder & Partner
Anita
Care Partner
Anita is an equal partner in Graceful Hands — leading caregiver matching, family liaison, and the after-hours line. Calm, organised, and deeply trusted by the households she looks after.
04 — From the workSmall moments,
Small moments,
held gently.
Out of respect for our families, identifying details are softened. The care, however, is real — and so are the people giving it.
05 — VoicesQuietly,
Quietly,
from the families.
"When my mother's diagnosis became a daily reality, Grace placed a caregiver with us within a week. Two years on, the household runs the way my mother always wanted it to — calmly, and with her at the centre."
Catherine M. van der Merwe
Daughter · Houghton Estate
"We needed overnight care for our newborn while I returned to theatre work. Anita understood immediately — we were matched with a caregiver who has now been with us for eighteen months."
Dr. Adeola Mokoena, MBChB
Cardiothoracic Surgeon · Bryanston
A note from Grace
"We have placed twenty-eight caregivers this year. Twenty-six are still with their first family. That is the only metric I care to publish."
