There has been such strong interest in future phases of Rob Roy Lifestyle Village that the developers have released the Donald Glas wing for sale off-plan. Phase one, consisting of 70 units, is completely sold out!
The new wing, to be built adjacent to the main building, is named after Rob Roy MacGregor’s father. This wing will consist of 21, one and two bedroom units over four levels, with direct access to the main building, and six garden apartments completing the phase.
Construction has begun and completion is scheduled in the latter part of 2012, with 13 units already sold and only 10 remaining!
A unique element to this phase is the opportunity to choose the layout of the apartment. High-quality finishes are offered, with spectacular valley views completing the picture. The lift services all floors, with laundry facilities and trolley bays allocated on the parking level. Security is prime, with patrolling guards, perimeter monitoring and access control.
The impressive range of world-class facilities and services available in a five-star hotel environment cater for all the residents’ requirements, and is designed to afford maximum relaxation and a community spirit, with residents who feel they are on holiday 365 days of the year.
Regular evenings and events are part of the social calendar and the latest addition to the facilities list is a first for KZN – a two-lane astro turf bowling green!
The Rob Roy Retirement Lifestyle Village prides itself on going the extra mile in terms of facilities and services. Where do you find a Developer who is permanently on site with an open door policy, who takes an active interest in the residents?
A recent audit of health and safety standards will give the Rob Roy a 5-star rating, highlighting the five stages of accommodation available to residents.
The five stages will give you and your spouse, as well as your family, peace of mind when you settle into your home at the Rob Roy Retirement Lifestyle Village. You may not need to use all five stages, but it is comforting to know that they are available without having to relocate.
The five stages of accommodation cover the progression from independent living through interdependent living to dependent living. There is no stigma attached to the fact that a resident may have to make use of two, three or all five stages. It is a fact of life that we are ageing and that there will come a time when we will need assistance.
The accommodation is also supported by the full range of services that are required to provide the resident with a quality of life in comfortable and friendly surroundings. No expense will be spared to provide accommodation and services to meet the high standard expected by our residents.
The assisted living programme offered to residents in their apartments is a daily service, with emphasis on bathing, dressing, eating, medication, taking part in social activities and domestic help.
In addition, for your peace of mind, all the cottages and apartments have direct access to an emergency response that will provide fire, medical and – in the case of the cottages – intrusion response as well.
Read on for more about the 5 stages of accommodation…
Stage 1: Independent living
Residents enjoy totally independent living, where they are free to choose their lifestyle without extra support. A home care service is, however, available to residents whereby day or night caring assistance is provided during a period of illness or on an ongoing basis. The cost of the home care depends upon the range of care or service that is required.
Stage 2: Interdependent living
You’ll be offered a choice of an independent or interdependent lifestyle where they can chose to have their meals in the Duke of Montrose resident’s dining room for an additional charge or to self cater. Daily cleaning, bed making, dish washing and laundry services are offered at a reasonable cost.
Stage 3: Interdependent assisted living
Residents are provided with general assistance, for example, medication, regular checks during the day and night. Domestic help is also available as per Stage 2.
Stage 4: Interdependent semi-care living
Comprehensive assistance includes getting in and out of bed, bathing, showering, dressing and undressing. Nursing staff visit these residents during the day and night. Also domestic help as per Stage 2.
Stage 5: Dependent living
The 20 two-bed room Rob Roy Care Centre provides 24-hour care for residents and caters for all needs – nursing, laundry, bed assistance, showering and dressing. The Care Centre has four trained sisters and one carer per four residents in occupation.
