MCKENZIE LIFESTYLE (and Retirement) VILLAGE in Geraldine, South Canterbury offers a lifestyle village because they "aim to provide an environment that provides the best possible lifestyle for people of maturing years".
The retirement and lifestyle village offers a combination of freedom and security. Their website explains that the "villa you occupy is your home, with the freedom to come and go as you please while we take care of the external maintenance of buildings and grounds."
They foster a village community with social activities for those who are so minded. Help is also on hand (should you need it) with preferential access to the adjoining McKenzie Healthcare rest home, hospital and dementia facility.
