| 109 T T Karen Phelps Loving the lifestyle in Northwood Northwood Retirement Village offers the latest independent living choices with stylish two and three bedroom apartments and townhouses. Ryman Healthcare: Northwood Retirement Village LIFESTYLE Ryman Healthcare’s Northwood Retirement Village is proving to be a popular choice since the first residents moved into the village in June 2023. It is Ryman’s ninth village in Christchurch and once completed will offer a range of living options including independent townhouses and apartments, assisted living apartments and an industry-leading care centre. Ryman’s National Sales Manager NZ, Simon Jantke says the village is a testament to the company’s commitment to rewriting the narrative of retirement living and care by creating a community that not only provides comfortable living options but also fosters a sense of belonging and wellbeing amongst its residents. Northwood Retirement Village currently offers the latest independent living choices with stylish two and three bedroom apartments and townhouses. The modern homes feature spacious layouts, private outdoor areas, and contemporary components designed to enhance residents’ comfort and convenience. “Apartments are ready to move into right away or people can secure their spot in the latest release of sought after townhouses selling from the plans,” says Simon. Conveniently located with the Main North Road running along the west side, the village offers easy access to Christchurch city centre, Northlands Shopping Centre and the popular suburb of Merivale. The Northwood Supa Centa across the road has an array of amenities including a pharmacy, cafes and restaurants. Simon says the village’s proximity to nature reserves and the new Northern Motorway makes it an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploration. Simon says the Ryman experience is defined by continuous innovation aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents. The myRyman resident app is one example of this. It has transformed the way independent residents access information about events and activities in the villages. Users can stay up to date with village news and events as well as create their own schedules and book exclusive Ryman events and activities. Simon says that Ryman Healthcare’s success is due to its rich history and founding principles. In 1984 Kevin Hickman and John Ryder embarked on a mission to revolutionise rest homes and elevate the standard of living for older individuals. Today Ryman Healthcare owns and operates 48 retirement villages across New Zealand and Australia, serving 14,200 residents and employing 7,600 staff. A unique aspect to all Ryman villages is that they are named after outstanding New Zealanders. Likewise, Northwood Retirement Village will be gifted a special name with local relevance, says Simon. “Not only does it give the village a unique identity and make it more than just a location, it is also a way to pay respect and continue the legacy of pioneering New Zealanders. We are still working on the unveiling of the final name for the village. Watch this space.” Simon says that Northwood Retirement Village, like all Ryman villages, embodies the company’s commitment to excellence and innovation and that as the village continues to develop, it will enrich the lives of its residents as well as the local community. Once the village is complete, residents will have access to a wide range of amenities including a café, cinema, craft room, library, swimming pool, gym and bowling green. There will also be a care centre within offering industry-leading rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care. • New Builds & Renovations • Residential & Commercial • Waterproofing • Under-tile Heating • Special Materials & Finishes 021 365 534 admin@turtletiling.co.nz Proud to be the Tile Team for Ryman Healthcare PROUD TO SUPPORT RYMAN HEALTHCARE Apartments at Northwood offer the latest in modern architecture.
