Question & Answer
Buying a new home is always a major event and buying your No Limit to Life Supported Living home is no exception. Naturally, there is a lot that you will want to know about No Limit to Life. We invite you to contact any of our consultants with any of your questions or when you are touring the facility, please stop and take the time to speak to any of our residents. Here are answers to some of the questions that people often ask:
Is there a General Services Charge or Recurrent Charges?
Yes. As is the case in all retirement villages, residents pay a weekly fee, which covers the costs associated with the day-to-day running of the community. These costs are apportioned to each unit on an ‘equal share’ basis by way of a charge known as the General Services (Recurrent) Charge.
Do I have to sell my current home first?
No. It’s not always possible to sell your current home before moving into your new No Limit to Life home. In such cases, we can assist you with sales advice and can put you in touch with real estate specialists in your area who will be able to assist you.
Do I have to join in the community’s social events?
Not if you won’t wish to. Although we have a full and popular activities schedule, we understand that not everyone has the same capacity, needs and desires to join in. You are always free to choose how much or how little – if at all – you wish to participate. Naturally, you are always welcome.
Can I go on holidays and leave my home empty?
Yes. However it is a good idea that you advise No Limit to Life’s management that you will be away, so they can keep a close eye on your home for you. If you wish, we could also redirect your mail while you’re away.
Can I retain my current medical care arrangements?
Yes. You can continue to use the same care service providers or family support that you currently use – simply discuss this with our appointed Care Manager.
Can my personal doctor visit the community?
Your doctor is encouraged to visit any time they choose to see you in your home or in the Consulting Room in the Community centre – which is available to local doctors and other practitioners wishing to see their patients.
Can visitors stay in my home?
Of course they can. This is your home – to live in as much as you always have with as much normality as possible.
How does the emergency system work?
Emergency call buttons in each home provide a 24-hour monitoring service. The person who will attend will have the minimum of first-aid certification to a full nursing experience. Most communities offer to keep a confidential file record of the resident’s medical history. The manager will ask the resident to authorise the release of this information to medical or emergency services in the event of an emergency.
Can I bring a pet or have a new one?
We welcome pets such as cats, dogs, birds or fish. For obvious reasons, it is essential that they are well trained and controlled in lin with Council by-laws.
