| Ropata Village is operated as a “not for profit” Charitable Trust the beneficiaries of which are the Village apartment owner occupiers. The Trust is registered with the Charities Commission under the Charities Act 2005.
The Village provides a unique service in assisted supported living care for the elderly. Residents own their own apartments in their own right by way of unit title rather than the more common Licence to Occupy structure and therefore enjoy the benefit of being in their own home whilst enjoying the level of care and service they require. Some residents will be quite independent and others will require more personal care and / or nursing assistance. Generally the Village has a few apartments available for short term stays for respite or convalescent care. This service is ideal for those people who may need care and support following hospital discharge or perhaps when their caregiver and / or family members are away on holiday. Clients of ACC and also private medical schemes use the services of Ropata Village from time to time. Due to the uniqueness of the Ropata Village concept details under Retirement Housing (Purchase) section of this website should be read in conjunction with his information. |
