Is that with OCA ? You've got to buy the occupation right and this is amortised at (as I understand it 10% per annum) so on $150,000 that's $15,000 per annum plus also pay them $140 per day ? Don't you mean $140 per week ?

Before we brought our new unit/house we looked at retirement villages in our area.
Lack of privacy was what put us off most of them.
We brought our new house, for what an old refurbished villa would have cost us.
Perhaps in 10 years time when I am 80 we may have to look at retirement/care again.
I note the wife's uncle stayed in his own home, where he died at age 94.Social services provide a lot of help/care to keep people in their own home.
But paying $1,000 to $1,300 to live in a very old home,that stinks of boiled cabbage, does not appeal to me,however if I should have a stroke or get further demented, that will be my lot.
My Mum, just turned 90, is still living in her own small home that Mum and Dad built to retire in. She counts the trucks going to Napier port for me.
Yes...she gets a fair bit of help now....but on balance its working out.
Its just fine until something goes wrong....a fall, sickness etc.
So far so good.
Wow I just saw SUM 350,733 buy at $7.86 those are big boys playing now, should jump a bit on close!
Both MET and SUM up strongly on close, clearly someone knows something...
Eww! Compact portable air conditioners are the answer there. But still not a life-style I would gladly choose.
You really should think before you open that mouth of yours and make blanket and offensively inaccurate statements like that :angry:
As a rest home caregiver I resent your disrespectful (to both residents and staff) comment. If you were standing next to me I’d bitch-slap you!
Come and visit our rest home and talk to our residents. Yes, we are all understaffed but we don’t neglect anyone and we definitely do not leave anyone sitting in soiled incontinence products “all the time” - or “any of the time.”
Unbelievable :crying:
