Peace of Mind - Continuum of Care Journey
Healthcare at Fairlands Retirement Estate is a priority for us - designed to be reassuringly close and seamlessly integrated into your daily life from the beginning – as and when needed.
24-Hour Nursing
Our qualified, experienced nurses are on site 24 hours a day, ensuring that support is available with the least amount of delay.
Emergency Response
In the event of a resident emergency, assistance is called at the press of a button, offering both residents and their loved one's peace of mind.
Medication Management
Handled with care and precision, reducing risk while supporting wellbeing.
Your Preferred Doctors
Residents can call upon and meet with their own preferred doctors, physiotherapists and professionals - maintaining existing trusted relationships.
As care requirements evolve, Fairlands Assisted Living rentals and Fairlands Frail Care rooms are thoughtfully designed for older persons who require an increase in their daily level of support. For residents, we prioritise continuity without the disruption of moving off the Estate.
What Makes Fairlands Retirement Estate Special
Most retirement offerings introduce healthcare only when independence decreases - at Fairlands, it is already quietly and respectfully in place from the start.
Healthcare needs and community exist side by side enabling life to continue seamlessly - within familiar surroundings, with trusted faces, with additional support.
We expect family and friends to remain an active, reassuring presence in the everyday lives of our residents. We support this through open, proactive communication - sharing what to anticipate when healthcare needs change - so you are informed, included, and confident that we are caring alongside you. We can make helpful recommendations and give practical advice, when requested.
