Living & Care Options

We have a range of living options that allow you to live entirely independently or to incorporate care services as you want or need them. That includes in-home service packages and partially or fully serviced apartments and, in some villages, rest homes and hospitals. Each village has its own unique character with different living options on offer.

Independent Living

Villas, apartments, townhouses & cottages - this is your home where your independence is paramount; you can live with absolute freedom on your terms.

If independence, security and freedom to choose are what you want in your retirement, then a villa or apartment is the right choice. It’s like moving from your old family home, into a new family home without all the work!

Set in beautifully landscaped grounds, each villa or apartment has been purposefully designed to ensure optimum comfort and privacy. All outdoor maintenance is taken care of so you’ll have plenty of free time to engage in activities you enjoy. That includes tending to your own garden if that’s what is important to you, developing new interests and hobbies or simply reconnecting with old friends and doing the things you love but never had time for.

You have the choice of quality one, two and, in some places, three bedroom accommodation, all with easy access to superb village facilities and, of course, family and friends are welcome to visit and stay.

Our warm and friendly staff members are always on hand to assist and provide a caring and supportive environment where you can feel safe and confident.

Should you tire of household chores, or require some assistance from our nursing staff, you have the ability to arrange for both while remaining in your home.  It’s independent living as you want it. 

Supported Living

Serviced apartments - enjoy the independence of a more manageable home with options for support, household management & personal care services.

Spend time enjoying life in a carefree and relaxing environment where household chores are taken care of and your days are free to do whatever you choose. Step outside your door and have instant access to organised activities, companionship and leisure facilities.

All our serviced apartments come with a range of care and service options from housekeeping, laundry and meals to nursing and personal care. You choose what level of assistance suits your needs. Your one bedroom or studio apartment is built to high standards that ensure optimum comfort and security. And with 24 hour access to emergency care, you and your family can feel confident your safety and wellbeing are provided for.

Without having to worry about maintaining your home, you have more time and energy to enjoy the finer things in life. It is true quality of life with assistance, but without the hassle.

Rest homes & hospitals -  ensuring your dignity, comfort & care requirements are always met

If being well cared for by professional and compassionate staff brings peace of mind to you and your family, then a Metlifecare rest home or hospital will meet your needs. You’ll have access to 24 hour care in a safe and comfortable environment with a nurse manager and team of trained staff dedicated to your wellbeing.

Knowing that you will be treated with dignity and respect should your needs change means you and your family can be confident you’ll receive the highest level of care. And with a choice of living options at many of our villages, you can stay close to your spouse or partner if your care needs are different. You’ll be able to enjoy great companionship, keep busy with a variety of village activities and share quality time with your family and friends.
