Considering moving into a lifestyle retirement village in Auckland but still feeling unsure if it’s the right move for you? Changing homes is a big decision for most of us, we know. Besides finding somewhere that feels like home, we want to live somewhere that feels safe.
At Settlers Lifestyle Village, the happiness and wellbeing of our residents are what we value most. So, for seniors considering the advantages of living in one of our lovely retirement apartments, we give the assurance that when you live with us, you will be safe, secure, and always supported.
Below, we elaborate on the benefits and practicality of living in a retirement village, discussing how retirement security systems and medical support can give retirees both independence and peace of mind.
What security & safety measures do retirement villages have?
When considering the qualities of a good home for a retirement village, what safety measures and security technologies need to be in place to ensure that residents can feel safe?
A retirement village should include a comprehensive range of proven security systems and safety features that residents can rely on. For example, at Settlers, security systems implemented in the village include a wide range of measures such as CCTV, automatic security gates, alarm systems, access control, and more.
With a CCTV system in place, residents can relax and have peace of mind knowing that their safety and the security of their property are maintained 24/7. Settlers is also a gated community, fully equipped with intercoms, therefore no unauthorised people can come into the village.
The benefits of senior apartments at Settlers
At Settlers, our bright and spacious 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments for seniors are fully equipped with appliances, heating solutions, and emergency call buttons that connect residents to an onsite registered nurse 24/7. With fire security systems installed in every home, and easy lock-and-leave capabilities, Settlers’ residents can have peace of mind knowing that their home is always safe and secure. Should they wish to go on holiday, their residence will be well cared for in their absence.
For seniors who like peace, quiet, and independent senior living, but would also appreciate a little extra support and not need to deal with taxing chores, these apartments are the ideal solution.
At Settlers, you can enjoy your home and personal hobbies both within and outside the village with ease. Our amazing Lodge facilities are also right on your doorstep—if you feel like going for a swim in our heated pool, having a social BBQ, going to a movie, or visiting our café and restaurant, you can! Our passionate staff are also readily available should you need any assistance.
