Care & Support
We offer several levels of care in all types of village accommodation.
- Household services including cleaning, laundry and meals
- Nursing services, including daily checks if needed, in your home
- Hospital care
- Health professionals’ visits upon request
- 24 hour emergency button in every home
Our service packages are tailor-made to suit your needs. We take the time to sit down and talk you through all the options available to work out what is right for you.
If you qualify for government assistance to pay for care, you can still apply for it while living at Metlifecare Somervale.
Taking time to understand your needs means we can deliver an independent retirement lifestyle that suits you now and into the future, and there is seldom any need to move.
Household services
If you no longer wish to do household chores, laundry or make your own meals, you can obtain these services no matter what accommodation you choose to live in.
Nursing services
Should you require nursing services, we can provide them in your home. We have the experience to ensure that you maintain your independence for as long as possible in your own home.
Hospital care
Our hospital offers 24 hour nursing care in a safe and comfortable environment. It is close to our other accommodations, so partners can visit easily. A nurse manager and a team of trained staff care for you with dignity and respect. We are also mindful of the personal, spiritual, social and cultural needs of our residents.
Health professionals’ visits
You have access to a visiting podiatrist and audiologist. Some doctors will do home visits to the village.
