9. How involved do I need to be?

   The choice is entirely yours. Some residents like to be totally involved while other prefer to live quietly. Carmel Country Estate will be a community of similar aged residents with varying interest and different circumstances. Your unit has been uniquely designed for easy care and personal privacy so you decide just how much you want to be involved in the life of the Village.

10. Will my friends and family be able to visit me?

    The unit you have chosen at Carmel Country Estate is your home and family and friends are encouraged to visit you as often as they wish. You can entertain them in your unit or in the community centre, where your guests are welcome to use the facilities as long as you are present with them.

11. Will I be able to have a garden?

    Yes, if you so desire. Every unit has its own garden for your pleasure and enjoyment. However, if preferred all gardens will be maintained by Management.

12. Can I have a pet?

    We like to consider all residents wishes but for the comfort and convenience of others, pets are not encouraged. However, canaries and fish bowls are acceptable.

13. What happens when I go on holiday?

    Whether you go overseas for a few months, or just a short holiday in New Zealand, Management will care for your home and grounds.

14. What security will be provided?

    Security and independence are very important issues at Carmel Country Estate. We will endeavour to provide you with good outside lighting to your unit. Two emergency bells will be installed in your unit - in the main bedroom and in the en suite. Should you require assistance an employee of the Management will be able to assist you personally or call for medical assistance if required.

15. Can I have my own Doctor?

    Yes, you can arrange with your personal or family Doctor to attend to your needs. Alternatively, you may use the services of our visiting Doctor, situated in the community centre.

16. What provisions are there for ongoing care as I get older?

    The provision of ongoing care is of paramount importance to the Management and our proposed plans include building assisted care apartments to provide accommodation for such people who require services including cooked meals, cleaning of units and changing of linen.
