| VILLA OPTIONS
Bethsaida Retirement village offers 'own your own' Villas on a Lease to Occupy basis, and is the only complex in Blenheim offering you the choice of renting a Villa. We have one and two bedroomed Villas within both options of 'owning' or 'renting'. These units are architecturally designed for the elderly and are supplied with electric range, carpets, drapes & blinds, and in some cases, light fittings. Residents of rental units enjoy the same benefits as those who finance their own units under our Lease to Occupy agreement. As of June 2011, our village has one LTO unit available, however although we do have a waiting list for all categories, we welcome enquiries. We are not able to determine when Villas will become available due to the nature of our industry. A limited number of carports are available incurring a small weekly rental. A small maintenance fee is charged to Villa owners (those on Lease to Occupy basis) which covers the cost of a daily visit by a staff member from the Rest Home, ground maintenance, insurance and a proportion of rates. NEWSLETTER Regular and consistent communication is maintained at all times through out monthly newsletter which incorporates the menu for the month as well as a schedule of activities and outings. We endeavour to keep all residents informed and our staff are available to advise and assist wherever possible. GENERAL At Bethsaida Retirement Village, we pride ourselves in providing a caring, friendly atmosphere while at the same time providing stimulation and security for the residents. HISTORY In 1973 a group of prominent Blenheim citizens set up the Bethsaida Trust the purpose of which was to establish a Home for the care of the frail and dependent elderly, of either sex, without discimination as to religion, race or political belief. This idea has expanded into the complex known as the BETHSAIDA RETIREMENT VILLAGE and covers 2 hectares of landscaped park-like land close to shopping centre at nearby Redwoodtown and within close proximity of various Churches. The main commercial centre of Blenheim is approximately 1.5 kms drive from the village. OF NOTE We believe it is in the interests of all residents entering our Retirement Village to ensure they have a current Will, have arranged an Enduring Power of Attorney and make their own arrangements for any financial or business assistance. It is imperative to have adequate insurance cover, due to recent earthquakes in the south island and the consequences |

ACTIVITIES AND OUTINGS We encourage Villa residents to participate in any arranged activity or outing. Typical activities include gentle exercise sessions, 'Housie'every Thursday afternoon, Residents meetings, church services of all denominations. Outings may be arranged to visit local Árt Galleries, visiting shows, Operatic or Repertory productions, or reciprocal visits to other Rest Home/Retirement Villages. Bethsaida also holds its own Annual Cat Show with participation from other rest homes in the area. One of our resident cats, Flame, holds the overall champion rest home cat for the second year running. |

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (hereafter referred to as The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who buy into a retirement village. If you intend to purchase you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Further information about Retirement Villages is available in the section 'Frequent Questions'. Some Retirement Villages are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please do your homework.
In some villages there may be some units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
