Healthcare Benefits
Retirement villages provide a continuity of care for residents, from ageing in place through to hospital-level care.
Many villages will have consulting rooms to allow a local doctor to see residents at the village. However, the choice of a medical practitioner remains yours, and you are not pressured to transfer to any village doctor.
For medical emergencies, many villages offer call systems in their units, and larger villages may offer 24-hour monitoring services where any emergency call is attended by a person whose experience may range from first-aid certification to full nursing experience.
