When Fairview Village was first thought up over twenty years ago, owners Scott and Dave didn’t want to create just any regular retirement village – they set out to create a community with care firmly at the centre. That focus on care informed the decisions that have built the community to what it is today and will continue to guide us in the future to ensure we always provide a caring environment with our residents’ well-being at the forefront.
A caring design
The focus on care started on day one, right from deciding how the community was to be designed and developed. While other retirement villages were trying to fit in as much as possible, Fairview Village thought carefully about how their decisions could provide residents with the life they wanted to live, in a space that was safe, comfortable, and accessible.
Along with modern homes and high-quality facilities for recreation and relaxation, this meant caring about all those smaller details that add up to make a big difference to the community. Wider more manageable streets, carefully placed properties, and landscaped gardens and leafy spaces were all included to create a spacious comfortable environment that would promote a sense of well-being and connection.
“The gardens are beautiful and we can easily walk around the village”
We also wanted to ensure that communal areas were built to facilitate community gatherings and provide relaxing spaces where all residents felt at home. This included library and games rooms, a restaurant and bar with a dance floor and stage, recreation facilities, and more, all added to create an enriching environment.
“We have a beautiful space where we all come together for special dinners which accommodates up to 180 people. There’s a fabulous stage for entertainment and a dance floor.”
A caring team
We’ve always been proud of the amazing team that makes Fairview Village run. We don’t just employ anyone, and our focus is always on choosing people who exemplify kindness, compassion, and understanding.
As well as being excellent at their jobs, our nurses, gardeners, housekeepers, maintenance workers, and support staff all really care about this community and the people who live here. Many of them form strong bonds with our residents, becoming fast friends and making sure they’re looked after.
Our caring on-site nurses are available 24/7, and our apartments and villas feature multiple call buttons, giving you peace of mind that care and support is nearby at all times.
“We have 5 call buttons in our apartment. I pushed one by mistake once and the nurse was up in seconds!”
A caring community
Wherever you go, it’s the people that make the community what it is, and we’re so happy that the people who call this place home are committed to supporting each other and making this an amazing place to live. We hear so many amazing stories of neighbours looking out for each other and going the extra mile. This is truly a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone feels valued. As one resident put it, “There is a lot of care here – a lot of caring people. If someone gets sick everyone cares and drops things off to people.”
“The owners Scott and Dave have put their heart and soul into this complex, and make sure everyone is happy and joining in. There is even a get-together for men, they bring us together for a meeting once a week. No one is isolated . . . You live longer if you aren’t [isolated]”.
