Enjoy an independent lifestyle and gain while you share in the community at Karaka Pines.
Unlike traditional retirement villages, residents receive much more value for their money when making Karaka Pines their home. 'We can provide really good outcomes for residents in the village because we offer full capital gain to the resident,” says Karaka Pines CEO Adam Yates.
Being in the retirement village industry for 25 years, Adam says: 'The reason I do this is that I believe retirement villages have a positive impact on people's lives”.
'If we have the financial model being equally good for the resident, then a Karaka Pines village is probably the obvious choice for people to move into. Every Karaka Pines village has a community centre at the heart of its village.
'Residents meet as much as they wish and we've always got some activities, party, meal or something going on, where residents can be getting together and enjoying each other's company.” There are many reasons someone may choose to move into a retirement village, whether they're recently bereaved, seeking company or entering a new stage of life.
'We make sure we can meet all residents' needs so we have a major focus on resident wellbeing, activity and support,” says Adam.
'Our role is to make sure people are living independently and enjoying a great lifestyle.”
Karaka Pines has a portfolio of developments, and is managing seven retirement villages nationwide and is excited to reveal they're developing another in Papamoa – so watch this space!
