Our Philosophy

At Settlers Lifestyle Village, we adhere to a set of guiding principles that places our residents first.

These principles were carefully selected in support of the overarching purpose of our existence: resident well-being.

Care

Here at Settlers Lifestyle Village, our guiding principle is to prioritise care. We understand that peace-of-mind is knowing that a registered nurse is available around the clock, should assistance be needed.

Residents of Settlers Lifestyle Village have preferential access to private hospital care at Fairview Care, located at our sister village Fairview, just five minutes down the road, subject to the availability of suitable care beds. This arrangement provides added reassurance to our community, knowing that higher-level care is available if ever required.

"I have resided in Settlers Life Style Village for 12 years and can give testament to the fact that I have enjoyed every day of those years, with still more to fulfil and enjoy."

- Philippa

Support

In our community, resident support is a key element of our philosophy.

We recognise that life can be unpredictable, and people may need different kinds of support to maintain their well-being.

To meet these needs, we offer a variety of services that help with daily living, enabling our residents to enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle without worry.

Kindness

As a community, we understand that care doesn’t just mean addressing physical needs – it’s about creating an environment that fosters a culture of kindness, compassion, and understanding. We take pride in being a vibrant and inclusive community where everyone feels welcome and valued.

Friendship

Research consistently shows that seniors experience improved health and psychological well-being when they have friends. That’s why our village is designed to support connectivity, while also respecting the preferences of those who value quieter, less frequent interactions.

Lifestyle

We are more than just a retirement community – we offer a luxury, independent lifestyle for people over 65. In order to make our residents’ golden years truly golden, we provide every comfort, care and convenience possible.

Our goal is to offer our residents the very best lifestyle, and they’ve told us we’ve achieved exactly that by awarding us the Aged Advisor award for Best Village in the North Island multiple times.

"I never cease to appreciate the diligence with which the grounds of Settlers are taken care of. Beautiful trees and plants which lift our spirits."

- Chris

Vitality

Vitality is strongly associated with happiness and well-being. Our vibrant community offers a wealth of activities to help you stay active, mentally sharp, and socially engaged.

Vitality is strongly correlated with happiness and well-being. It derives from the latin word ‘vita,’ meaning life. As a physical state, it refers to feeling energetic, capable, and healthy. Psychologically, it provides a sense of meaning and purpose. We offer activities to engage the mind, body, and soul.

Freedom

Retirement living doesn’t mean giving up your independence. Settlers Lifestyle Village is designed for seniors who want to enjoy all the best parts of retirement living, with the added peace of mind that comes from knowing you can lock up and leave, confident that your home and belongings are safe.
