44 | Arvida Group - Copper Crest Integrated amenities a first from page 42 Improving the lives and well-being of residents is a prime ficus for Arvida. LIFESTYLE He says this integrated amenity offering between apartments and care is another industry first along with rolling out occupation right agreements for care and dementia rooms. Additionally the floor layouts, with households connecting centrally, have given the ability to provide a flexi household with removable partition walls. “This has created two single households or one slightly larger household where larger events and activities can take place,” explains Justin. “A further link, or multi-purpose space - connects the care and apartments and links the whole building together. This space is used by both apartments and care residents and aligns closely with Arvida’s integrated approach where both care residents and their families mingle alongside independent residents for coffee or lunch and even participate in exercise or other village organised activities.” Households are also linked by communal spaces, gardens and common areas supplemented with views beyond to the wider Tauranga landscape. Justin says that the result is a building that can be individual and lets the residents be in control of their household, creating a social dimension that is not traditional to aged care living. It’s all part of Arvida’s overarching goal of improving the lives and well-being of residents to page 46 by transforming the ageing experience and accommodating all stages of retirement living, says Justin. In addition to the 55 new care suites this continuum is reflected through building configuration by introducing 29 new ergonomically designed apartments for both independent and supported living. Importantly if a couple is at Copper Crest but only one needs a higher level of care, because the apartments and villas are located close by, the individual needs of each partner can both be catered for. This means a lot, says Justin, when traditionally couples would need to be separated, with one living in the family home and then needing to travel to a facility to visit their partner, which can be both exhausting and isolating. If both need care Arvida also offers interconnecting care suites.
