About Us

Nurture iLembe is a hospital designed to meet all your physical rehabilitation needs. When you choose Nurture iLembe, you are choosing a caring and compassionate team of professionals, a comprehensive range of therapeutic services, and a top-notch hospital.

We are close to the N2 in Ballito, only a 20-minute drive from King Shaka International Airport, and conveniently placed for KwaZulu-Natal residents looking for intensive in-patient physical rehabilitation.

How We Can Help

Being compassionate is our objective

Here at Nurture iLembe, we provide hope through compassion, humanity, and expertise during your rehabilitation journey.

We exist to help people who have suffered a debilitating accident, or significant illness, return to their optimal functioning.

Our objective is to maximise recovery and patient health gain, while achieving the highest level of independence for each of our patients, as cost effectively as possible. We start your rehabilitation journey on the day of admission with a detailed interdisciplinary team assessment, as early intervention has been proven to show improved function, better patient outcomes, and reintegration back into society, the community, and home environment.
