About this site

This website is produced by the Retirement Villages Association of New Zealand (RVA).

Its purpose is to give New Zealanders clear, factual information about how retirement villages operate - helping people make informed decisions about where and how they want to live as they age.

Rosemary and Earle found more than a home. ​

Rosemary and Earle talk about new friends, shared skills and practical help close by. For them, the value is not only in the home they moved into, but in the community around them - people who step up, look out for each other and make everyday life easier.
