Special Features
We take security very seriously. The village is constantly under security surveillance, with access controlled by electronic gates. Security staff are on site every day of the year, and each unit has a nurse call button for immediated assistance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Ilam Lifecare has been designed to allow maxium enjoyment of the outdoors. A variety of sunny, yet sheltered outdoor areas add to the feeling of a social village environment.

We are conveniently located in a pleasant residential area

We are close to Westfield (Riccarton) Mall and the Bush Inn Centre Mall

There are churches nearby

There is a bus route at the gate, including the Orbiter for easy travel to the city and suburbs.

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.
