We call our locations ‘communities’, rather than retirement villages, because they’re designed to encourage and support full interaction with the neighbourhoods and people around them.

Living a life with soul means living the best life you possibly can. It’s a philosophy that embraces a holistic view of physical, mental and spiritual health - mind, body, heart and soul.

As part of our commitment to you, we promise clarity about fees, transfers, ORAs and all the other details related to your relationship with us. We call this the Arvida Advantage

‘Living Well Community’ is the description we use for an Arvida community where the environment, staff and daily routines embrace a holistic approach to helping residents live their best life and stay connected with the wider world.

Lifemark® is a New Zealand standard for usable and safe homes. For example, the villa’s at Arvida’s Lauriston Park community in Cambridge have been designed and built to meet Lifemark standards.

We believe in both transparency and fairness in our Fees. Read more about how these work

The occupation right agreement (ORA) secures your home in an Arvida retirement community for life.

Within Arvida we are bringing our purpose to life by changing both the way we work and the way we develop aged care services. We don’t believe our residential facilities should be referred to as rest homes or retirement villages. We see them as communities or, more precisely, Living Well Communities.
