Care Suites at The Oaks: Where Comfort Meets Comprehensive Care
At The Oaks Care Centre and Village, we understand that as your care needs evolve, your living space should adapt to provide comfort, privacy, and peace of mind. That’s why our Care Suites are designed to offer both Rest Home and Hospital-level care, with all the features you need to live comfortably, independently, and securely.
Whether you require low-level care or more advanced medical support, our Care Suites are the perfect choice. You can relax knowing you won’t face the upheaval of having to move again if your needs increase, providing you with the peace of mind that you’ll always have the right level of care, without needing to relocate.
Fully Equipped for Your Comfort and Convenience
Each Care Suite has been thoughtfully designed with your comfort, privacy, and independence in mind. We provide a range of amenities and features to ensure that your living space is not only practical but also enjoyable.
Key Features of Our Care Suites:
- Private Ensuite: Every Care Suite is equipped with a full ensuite bathroom, offering you the privacy and convenience of your own space. The modern design ensures both comfort and accessibility, providing ease of use for residents with varying mobility levels.
- Heat Pump for Year-Round Comfort: Each suite comes with an energy-efficient heat pump to keep you comfortable all year long. Whether it's warming up on a cold day or cooling off during summer, you have full control over the temperature of your suite.
- Kitchenette: Enjoy the ability to make your own tea or coffee with the suite's kitchenette, which includes a fridge and kettle. This allows you the freedom to prepare snacks or drinks at your convenience, whether for a quiet moment alone or to welcome visitors into your space.
- Personalized Space: You own the right to occupy your Care Suite, which means you can personalize your room with your own furniture, decorations, and treasured items. From photos and artwork to your favorite chair, making your suite feel like home is encouraged and supported. This helps residents maintain a sense of ownership and familiarity, essential for emotional well-being.
Flexible Care Levels, Tailored to Your Needs
Our Care Suites are designed to provide Rest Home-level and Hospital-level care all in one location. This means that as your care needs increase or decrease, there’s no need to move to a different room or facility. You’ll receive exactly the level of care you need, whether it's support with daily living activities, personal care, or medical monitoring.
- Rest Home Care: For residents who need assistance with everyday tasks like dressing, bathing, or mobility, our Rest Home-level care offers just the right balance of support and independence.
- Hospital-level Care: For those who need more specialized medical care or attention, we offer Hospital-level care within the same suite, so you don’t need to worry about transitioning to a different facility if your needs change.

Subsidy Details
| Care Suites at The Oaks – A Unique and Flexible Option for Your Care Needs At The Oaks, we offer Care Suites designed for those who require either Rest Home or Hospital-level care, providing peace of mind and the flexibility you need. Care Suites are sold under an Occupation License Agreement (ORA), which allows you to secure your own space in a comfortable and supportive environment while maintaining financial clarity. What is an Occupation License Agreement (ORA)? The ORA is a unique, financial arrangement that allows you to pay an upfront capital sum for the right to occupy your Care Suite. This means you don’t have to pay a daily premium accommodation charge (PAC), which is a common feature at other care facilities. Instead, the upfront payment gives you long-term security and peace of mind, allowing you to focus on enjoying your retirement without worrying about fluctuating accommodation fees. What You’ll Pay for Your Care Suite While the Occupation License Agreement (ORA) covers the cost of the Care Suite itself, you will still need to pay the Daily Care Fee. This fee covers the daily services and support that you receive, including nursing care, assistance with daily activities, and access to the full range of amenities and services available at The Oaks. The upfront capital payment for the Care Suite is a one-time expense, ensuring that you won’t need to worry about continuous accommodation charges, which can be especially helpful for budgeting in retirement. This arrangement makes it easy to plan and manage your finances for the future. Why Choose a Care Suite? • Security and Comfort: With your own private Care Suite, you have a space that’s entirely yours, with the option to personalize it with your favorite belongings, such as furniture, art, or family photos. • Comprehensive Care: You’ll receive tailored care and support based on your individual needs, ensuring that you remain comfortable, healthy, and well-cared for. • Long-Term Stability: The ORA offers long-term financial stability without the burden of ongoing premium charges, making it a more predictable and manageable option for many. • Peace of Mind: Whether you need Rest Home or Hospital-level care, the Care Suites at The Oaks offer the flexibility to cater to changing needs, so you won’t have to worry about moving should your care requirements increase. Enjoy a Comfortable Lifestyle With the Occupation License Agreement, you get to enjoy the benefits of living in a Care Suite at The Oaks, where comfort, privacy, and care are at the heart of everything we do. Our Care Suites come equipped with modern features, such as heat pumps, ensuite bathrooms, and kitchenettes, making it easy for you to live independently while receiving the care and support you need. This unique approach allows you to be part of a vibrant community at The Oaks while receiving personalized care that suits your needs. Whether you enjoy socializing with others, engaging in activities, or simply relaxing in the comfort of your own suite, The Oaks provides a flexible living option that offers peace of mind. |

The Ministry of Health conducts regular audits of Residential Care Facilities. They can be found HERE.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (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. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village 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.
