The arrival of a brand new Mercedes 11- seater van which has been modified with an electronic step, providing chauffeured independence for village residents has everyone excited.

2011 In Review by Sue Prowse
The last year has been very busy for Rosebank. 2011 marked the grand opening of the first phase of the villas which were completed in May.
Phase One residents have settled into village life and have created a very social and inviting environment while they await the completion of the next phases and their new neighbours which will be ready for occupation in May 2012.
I am very proud of our community at Rosebank and enjoy providing personal tours if anyone is interested in learning more. Please don’t hesitate to give me a call. I look forward to meeting you. We wish you and your family a very wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.

Fantastic Turnout For Public Open Day
21 Jun 2011Sunday May 22nd was the perfect day for a walk-through our brand new Rosebank Villas.
Well over 300 people turned up to see these impressive residences.
The response far exceeded expectations with Manager Sue Prowse saying “We’re just delighted with the turnout. The feedback confirms our belief that older members of our community want freedom, space and security in their home environment. They want to enjoy life to the full without the usual maintenance and safety worries.”
Comments from those who walked through the Villas included surprise at how attractive and spacious they are – particularly in the lounge, dining and kitchen areas. Many remarked on the stylish and tasteful colour schemes. And those guests who love to cook seemed to be very impressed with the kitchens.

Post-earthquake demand for retirement beds eased by Rosebank Village.
2 May 2011Rosebank Village – Ashburton’s first dedicated Retirement Village, was officially opened by Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew on Sunday. The opening of Stage One – six self-contained Villas – adds Independent living to Rosebank’s care options.
Canterbury’s major earthquakes last September and February caused the demolition of some retirement homes and the loss of over 500 retirement beds.
Rosebank General Manager Sue Prowse says she’s spoken to many people urgently looking for retirement living out of Christchurch. “Rosebank never envisaged demand for our Villas would come from such devastating events. We’re so very glad to offer people the best of both worlds: independence and security. Help is only seconds away should they need it.”
When complete, Rosebank Village will provide Ashburton with a unique retirement village environment; 27 two and three-bedroom self-contained Villas and a Community Centre for the use of Villa residents. Residents also have a Villa Coordinator dedicated to supporting them in living as independently as possible.
“It’s important for residents’ health and wellbeing to live a full and active life – which includes having room for friends and family to visit and stay. The Rosebank Village Community Centre will provide an extra space for mixing with other Villa residents and celebrating special family occasions,” says Sue Prowse.
Rosebank Village is holding a public Open Day Sunday May 22 from 2–4 pm, with all welcome.
“Rosebank Village owner Stuart Leck and I will be providing Guided Tours, including viewing of a fully-furnished two-bedroom Villa. All are welcome!”
Stage Two of Rosebank Village – six more self contained two and three-bedroom Villas, commences early June with site preparations starting late May. Stage Two is due for completion December this year.
The Rosebank complex also offers Rest Home and Hospital care options – including Rehabilitative, Convalescent, Palliative and Hospice services with Registered Nurses onsite 24 hours, seven days.
