Will I receive nursing care if required?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions by residents and their families. As a retirement village is not a hostel or nursing home, it is critical that you obtain information from the operator of the village pertaining to ongoing care that may be available to you, if required. Keep in mind, too, that, because a retirement village may be located next to a low or high care facility, this does not automatically guarantee that you can be transferred, if required.

Many villages have established excellent relationships with community based healthcare professionals and service providers. The Village Manager should be able to provide you with contact details of local community based healthcare professionals and service providers.
