Testimonials
| "Everything I ever need is just a short walking distance away" "Why would I want to spend more money on the bigger, newer villages when I have everything I need here, and money in the bank" "It's the friendliness, the acceptance; I have come home" "Whether you are wearing your pearls and best dress or walking down to the pool with your dressing gown thrown over your togs (you found after 30 years) you feel comfortable and it's home" "I felt like I had died and gone to heaven" - new resident survey comments. |

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.
