Independent living becomes increasingly difficult to secure as people age, despite maintained capability. Rental markets often discriminate by age, retirement villages impose institutional structures and exorbitant costs, whilst nursing homes assume frailty you don't experience. For Durban seniors aged 60-75 maintaining complete independence—managing finances, personal care, health decisions, and daily activities without assistance—Godsolve provides straightforward accommodation respecting autonomy. No medical supervision, no daily living assistance, no institutional oversight. You live independently in your private room, participate in Christian community by choice, access structured fellowship opportunities, and maintain full control over your schedule, activities, and life decisions. This serves capable seniors wanting community without compromising independence, Christian fellowship without denominational aged care facilities, and affordability without retirement village levies.
Independent living means exactly that—you make your decisions, manage your space, control your participation. The Christian community framework provides support and connection when desired, not supervision when unwanted. This respects your decades of life experience and continued capability whilst creating genuine belonging opportunities.
Located in Glenwood and Umbilo, Godsolve properties provide simple furnished rooms, communal kitchens with gas cookers and fridges, reliable internet access, and most importantly, Christian faith community creating meaningful connection.

⭐ 4.4 / 5 from 59 Google reviews • Safe, peaceful, Christian-based accommodation in Durban.
Staff is very professional, Godly and good-hearted and the facilities are very clean.
Great accommodation with great experiences and learning opportunities. The landlords are amazing.
I've grown through the close-knit community and landlords who taught me useful, practical skills for everyday life.
House rules prohibit alcohol, drugs, overnight guests, and disruptive behaviour. Weekly Christian gatherings are encouraged but participation is voluntary. Beyond these community standards, you maintain full autonomy over your schedule, activities, personal choices, and daily routines.
Yes. No curfews, sign-in requirements, or movement restrictions apply. You maintain complete freedom over your schedule and whereabouts. The Christian community framework creates accountability through relationships, not rules.
No. Godsolve assumes capability unless demonstrated otherwise. We don't offer unsolicited assistance, monitor your activities, or impose "elderly care" structures. You're responsible for yourself entirely—which honours your autonomy whilst requiring genuine independence.
Honest communication matters. If health or capability declines requiring daily assistance or medical supervision, transitioning to specialised care facilities becomes necessary. We address these conversations compassionately but honestly rather than letting unsafe situations develop.
Often more affordable. Furnished rooms eliminate furniture costs. Utilities are included or managed collectively. Location reduces transport costs. Shared facilities lower individual expenses. And Christian stewardship values keep pricing realistic rather than maximising profit.
Yes—that's precisely the model. Independent living provides autonomy and privacy. Christian community offers connection and belonging. Weekly fellowship creates structure without obligation. You control the balance between solitude and socialisation according to your personality and needs.
