Highly recommend SV village
4 / 5 ★
I wholeheartedly recommend SV as a retirement village. It is a village with a rich intellectual and social life. I feel privileged to live in this village.

The powers that be, need to change their collective attitude from 'doing things to us or for us' to 'doing things with us' (Things= any new proposals, ideas or suggestions re any future changes for/in the village).

Not the friendly community we had originally
4 / 5 ★
Live here for 7 years. I feel it is not the friendly community we had originally. The manager is fine, the board and directors - distant. I know it's important to manage finance but there is this pervading atmosphere that money is the most important item on the agenda.
Reviewer: Anonymous 21 Jul 2024
Many positives
4 / 5 ★
Many positives, including on-site min mart, gift shop, op-shop, hospital, cinema, medical centre, function rooms, cafe and licensed bar areas, games room, plus attending podiatrist, audiologist, dentist, also hairdresser, gym, chapel, attending physiotherapists and swimming pool. The village is situated on a very large site, providing good walking space, also care homes.

All About Appearances [in my opinion]
1 / 5 ★
[I have serious concerns about the standard of care provided.]<br /> <br /> [My mother experienced issues that caused our family significant concern. We raised concerns with management, but felt they were not addressed to our satisfaction.]<br /> <br /> [Following medical assessment, we remained concerned about injuries that had occurred while she was receiving care.]
