Testimonials
| “I honestly believe that this was the best move I could have ever made. My life has continued on as normal with the same friends, interests and hobbies like I always did, but now I don’t have to worry about the hard work – Enliven takes care of that. And I know help is available from the adjoining rest home if I ever need it.” – Kay, Huntleigh Apartments resident.
“We don’t live in each other’s pockets, but we’ve got communal library, lounge and dining areas, along with a beautiful courtyard garden. We often take advantage of these for social events. It’s a perfect opportunity to get to know your neighbours, and everyone here is really friendly.” – Graeme, Huntleigh Apartments resident. |

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.
