We as a family are so happy and are thankful that Mum and Dad are in such a great place and everything is right there for their care. We all love visiting as the atmosphere is so happy and welcoming."
"I would like to say thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness to have our sister and her special needs daughter have Christmas lunch with Mum on Christmas Day. This meant a great deal to Mum and all of our family and caused great happiness at a time where Mum was unable to spend Christmas with family. I am so pleased we made the decision to choose Ernest Rutherford for Mum, your excellent care and attention to go above and beyond is absolutely wonderful. Your professionalism and kindness is very much appreciated." |

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.
