Independent Apartments

Even for the most able retiree, there comes a time when help is needed with the basics of day-to-day living. Family members often step in to provide support, however there is always a limit to how much time can be committed and the level of care they can provide. This is where Serviced Apartment living at can provide the ideal answer.

We can provide a whole host of services, 24-hour support and a quality of life that you or your loved ones truly deserve. While you may be at a stage where you need a higher level of care, you can keep the spirit of independence, while your family can rest assured that you are always in safe hands and in good company. For advice on how to talk to your loved ones about moving into a retirement village click here.

RETAIN DHB PERSONAL CARES SUPPORT

We welcome you to utilise DHB funded personal cares services in your unit to avoid unnecessary costs, or you can use our onsite care and personal support services.

SERVICED APARTMENT FOR ASSISTED LIVING

Our purpose-built apartments have a kitchenette and bathroom, offering continued independence with support services tailored to your personal needs.

Care home with rest home & hospital on-site

We advocate ‘resident directed care’ where the care is led by our resident’s choices with an emphasis on providing quality of life.

For a greater daily support we offer a full continuum of care with a 12-bed rest home and a 29-bed residential hospital on-site. Both offer 24-hour care and provide a safe, comfortable environment – all while being close to our other accommodations, so partners can visit easily.
