Retirement Living
Independent Living Units - a quality lifestyleMoving from a family home to an Independent Living Unit is a popular choice for many seniors because they acquire a lifestyle that is free of the worries of home maintenance. As the name suggests, residents live independently in their own private self-contained unit, tend to their own garden and courtyard, cook, shop and come and go as they please. They enjoy the companionship and security that comes with having like-minded and similar-aged neighbours close by and, of course, their friends and family are always welcome to visit. Residents can rest easy in the knowledge that their home is safe and secure at all times, even when they are on holidays. Some of our Independent Living Units are also co-located with a residential facility and this often enables partners to live close to each other if one requires a greater level of care. Some of our residents enjoy having their meals at the residential facility and joining in the regular activitites. Essentially, the appeal for many residents is the wonderful blend of independence and security, companionship and privacy and most importantly, peace of mind.
Village LifeResidents have differing expectations, needs, wishes and capacities to engage in village activities. It is entirely their choice how involved they would like to be. Every opportunity is given for residents to pursue their own hobbies and interests both within the village and within the broader community. We encourage residents to have their say in all matters of village life and all input is highly valued.

What does my maintenance fee include?Residents pay a weekly fee, which covers some of the costs associated with the day-to-day running of the village. This fee generally includes:
How much do they cost?Our Independent Living Units are based on an 'occupancy lease' or 'lifetime lease' arrangement.
