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

What we stand for
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.

Partner Portrait
A formal photograph of Anita is being commissioned. Her presence in the work, however, is felt by every family we serve.
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."
