Thanks for sharing. Its nice to know there are still some villages that are happy to accept 60 year olds. (I might retire earlier lol). The Peninsula club on the Whangaparaoa is a very nice facility for those that want to live independently. It was originally a timeshare resort and has very spacious grounds and most units are single level with nice gardens. I helped my parents in the selection process and Mum has been very happy there for over 9 years now. Its independent living only but a nice place. Feel free to pm me if anyone wants more info.
I think there's a number of reasons MET are now trading at a significant discount to NTA...their company culture doesn't look especially healthy to me and then there's the fact that many of their older facilities have moisture ingress problems and the vast majority of their villages are independent living only...they really aren't making an effort to understand that increasingly the public want the full continuum of care model...I think MET is one company to seriously avoid in this sector despite it being an apparent bargain on a discount to NTA basis.
