Serviced apartments are spacious, purpose-built homes designed for people over 70 who want to continue living independently, but may need some extra support.
Is a serviced apartment the right choice for you? Serviced apartments are a great option for singles and couples.
Talking to family and friends is a good place to start. It’s also a good idea to talk to a Summerset Sales or Care Centre Manager who’ll be able to give you more information so you can work out what’s right for you. A serviced apartment is a great choice if you:
• want to downsize and move to
a warm, modern, one bedroom home designed for people over 70
• are living independently at the moment, but would feel more confident with support close at hand
• want to retain your independence and minimise moves between homes should your health deteriorate
• need regular support or active

Make your home your own
If you want to put your own stamp on your new apartment with different furniture and décor, you can – it’s your place, after all.
Although Summerset villages are designed to be part of the local community, perimeter fencing and after hours gates ensure that our villages are secure at night.
• Ministry of Health Certification
All Summerset serviced apartments are certified by the Ministry of Health to provide rest home-level care.

All of our homes are designed with accessibility as a priority and feature extra wide hallways, emergency call bells, slip-resistant flooring and bathrooms with accessible showers and grab rails. We pay attention to the little things too, like making sure handles on doors and drawers are easy to use and ensuring all switches, power sockets and door handles are placed at a convenient height. And this focus on accessibility is reflected in the design of our villages, ensuring residents can move through the village freely no matter their level of mobility. All Summerset villages are Lifemark™ accessibility approved.
Support as your needs change The confidence of knowing you can increase your level of support if your needs change.
Our Continuum of Care provides support in the form of packages and add-on services. This choice of service and care packages means you can continue to live independently in your home at the same time as receiving the care and support you need.

Answering your questions What is a serviced apartment? A Summerset serviced apartment is an apartment within a retirement village that has been certified to provide care up to rest home-level and meets the standards set out in the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001.
What support is provided with a serviced apartment? All Summerset serviced apartments provide: • an emergency call bell system installed throughout each apartment which is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by village staff • the confidence that help is always close at hand. Our helpful, trained staff, who work closely with registered nurses, are available around-the-clock
14
• priority access to our Care Centre if your needs change and you want 24 hour hospital-level care. You can choose which of our four service and care packages you purchase with your serviced apartment. These are designed to meet needs ranging from a little bit of help, through to rest home-level care.
Will living in a serviced apartment affect my superannuation entitlements? As you’ll be living in your own apartment, you should continue to receive your living alone allowance. You may also be eligible for a Government subsidy to help with costs should you require rest homelevel care.
Can I use all the village facilities and take part in community activities? Yes. As part of our friendly Summerset community, you’ll have full access to facilities including the café, library and exercise facilities. And we’d love you to take part in our social events and organised activities.
What if I change my mind? If you don’t love our friendly way of life, the services we offer or the home you have chosen, you’re free to move on after 90 days. We will refund your Licence Payment in full. Some conditions apply.
Can I have a pet? Yes. As part of living in a community, we need to ensure all pets will be comfortable in the village. The Village Manager will be able to advise about the suitability of your pet.
Can I have friends or family to stay? Yes. It’s your home, and your family and friends are welcome to stay. You’ll need to talk to your Village Manager if you want family or friends to stay longer than two weeks.
