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.

So the $140 per day OCA charge is reasonable.ie $980 per week.

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.

Cabbage is nothing think urine and poo in the heat of summer, from unchanged nappies some the time because of the understaffing and a few neglecting to do it.

Reason: some, not all is more accurate.

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.

On the few i checked there was a lot of big volumes on the close. My guess is some portfolio rearrangements rather than insightful buying. Even SKT TV was up 3c on the close.
