Memory care centre Summerset is one of the country’s leaders in next-generation memory care offering specialist dementia care. Our memory care centres provide modern apartment style living with innovative design to create a world-class environment for people living with dementia. Coupled with our resident centric philosophy to improve the lives of people living with dementia our residents enjoy a welcoming atmosphere designed specifically for them. Our unique way-finding, large open communal areas and outdoor courtyard garden provides freedom of movement and independence, perfect for people needing specialist dementia care at risk of wandering. Our generous apartments offer open-plan living in a secure facility, with a separate double bedroom and almost all with a large ensuite. Our friendly and specialist trained staff get to know our residents’ hobbies and interests, tailoring activities to suit their needs.
The diversional therapists ensure our residents are engaged and have a sense of importance each day through personalised activities and programmes. Summerset’s dedication to dementia is evident, being one of the first retirement village operators in New Zealand to be officially recognised by Alzheimers New Zealand as a Dementia-friendly organisation. This accreditation means our villages and organisation have met key standards focused on what people with dementia need now and in the future. Dementia friendly training is completed by all and we are really proud to help those with dementia get the best out of life. See page 24-25 to see which villages offer our memory care centres.
