Summerset by the Park is a retirement village of modern homes in landscaped grounds, at 7 Flat Bush School Road in Flat Bush, Auckland. The village offers villas, apartments, serviced apartments and rooms in its Ministry of Health certified care centre. Homes have one or two bathrooms, including accessible showers, grab rails and slip-resistant floors. The village describes a continuum of care, from one-off services through to hospital-level care in its certified care centre, with village residents given priority access to that care, subject to availability and eligibility. There is an on-site activities coordinator with a calendar of events, indoor and outdoor facilities, and in-house catering with menus prepared on site from seasonal, fresh and locally grown produce.
The village is near shops and amenities such as Botany Downs and Manukau City Centre. The company says it was voted New Zealand's most trusted aged care and retirement village brand. A VIP waitlist gives priority access to newly available homes, for a fully refundable deposit. Visits are arranged by appointment, with morning tours from 9am to 12pm and afternoon tours from 12pm to 5pm, and a free information pack can be sent by email or post. For an older person or family in south-east Auckland looking for a village with a clear path from independent living to care, the village describes that path in full.
