Our team had the pleasure of attending the annual Retirement Villages Association (RVA) Conference in Wellington in August. As always, the event was a highlight of our calendar, offering great insights into the future of retirement living in New Zealand.
Wellington’s Welcome
The capital city greeted us with its characteristic charm and unpredictable weather. We experienced everything from beautiful sunshine to a dramatic windstorm, reminding us why Wellington is fondly known as the “coolest little capital.”
Government Support
Representatives from the government, including the Retirement Commissioner, discussed policies aimed at supporting seniors. They’re working on initiatives to ensure you have access to quality care and housing options.
What This Means for You
While the retirement living sector faces some challenges, there’s a strong commitment to improving your experience. Retirement villages are adapting to provide:
- More flexible living arrangements
- Enhanced social activities and community engagement
- Better integration of care services
- Improved communication between residents and management
Looking Ahead
We left the conference inspired to explore new ways of meeting the evolving needs of older persons in New Zealand. The future of retirement living in New Zealand is bright, and we’re excited to be part of shaping it.
Here’s to another year of progress, innovation, and person-centred care!
