Memory care centre

Summerset is one of the country’s leaders in next-generation memory care. Our memory care centres based on findings from Stirling University in Scotland 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 rest home level dementia care at risk of wandering. Our generous apartments offer open-plan living in a secure facility, with a separate double bedroom and 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 activites 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. For more information and to see if the Summerset village near you has a memory care centre, please contact our friendly village team.
