Olive Tree Retirement Village units are available under the "Occupation Right Agreement" (ORA). Olive Tree is a registered retirement village and is a full member of both the Retirement Villages Association (RVA) and the New Zealand Aged Care Association (NZACA). If you are 65 or over and you need further care, a Government allowance may be available to assist with fees in your Serviced Apartment. Work and Income New Zealand will explain the assistance available and eligibility criteria.

1. How does the Village Fee work?

The village fee is a set monthly fee that covers all the outgoings, including council and water rates, building insurance and external maintenance, upkeep of community facilities, staff costs, gardening and management of the village. The village fee is increased annually by the same rate at which your superannuation is increased. This will ensure that you are protected from any increases in operating costs that are in excess of inflation.

2. Is there help and security on hand?

We know that one of the main reasons our residents choose our retirement village is because of the enhanced security. In addition to our 24 hour emergency call system, Olive Tree Retirement Village has regular security patrols. Contracted security guards patrol the village on a regular basis.

3. What happens if my needs change?

At Olive Tree we offer a full continuum of care so you can access additional care services while remaining in your own home. We can assist with meals, laundry, cleaning, access to doctors and nurses and 24 hour emergency assistance and the ability to transfer to an apartment or resthome.

4. Can my friends and family stay with me?

Yes, of course. When you move into Olive Tree we want you to maintain your family and social ties, and even expand them! This is your home, so you can have guests over to visit or stay whenever you like. It’s up to you.
