What makes Summerset different
Summerset was founded on a deep respect for our residents, putting them at the heart of everything we do. With a range of homes and activities there’s something for everyone. When you move to a Summerset village, you’re not just moving house — you’re joining a community. And we think that’s pretty special.
Choice
At Summerset the choices are all yours. From the range of homes to the extensive activities and events on offer. Your pets are welcome after a quick check with the village manager and friends and family are welcome for short stays. We maintain your home so you are free to spend more time doing what you love.
Community
Community
Summerset villages are communities where you can make new friends and socialise with like-minded people, while also welcoming family and friends. Whether it is enjoying a coffee in the café, a drink at happy hour in the bar and lounge or tinkering in the resident’s workshop there is always a strong sense of community.

Confidence
We are proud to have been operating villages since 1997 and have over 8,000 residents calling Summerset home. A call bell system is monitored on site 24/7 and security gates locked at night so you can always feel secure. With no hidden charges you have financial surety and our Summerset Sure guarantee means you'll have 90 days to be sure your independent living home or serviced apartment is right for you, and if not — we'll give you your money back (some conditions apply).
Care
With a continuum of care, you can have peace of mind knowing that if your needs change, we offer a range of care options. Our serviced apartments and our care apartments, suites and rooms across our care centres provide flexibility, with priority transfer options available for residents, subject to availability and eligibility criteria.
Rest-home care is offered across our serviced apartments or in our care centres, where most also provide hospital-level care. All our villages are accredited as dementia-friendly, and our staff are trained to support residents with dementia. Our newer villages also feature state-of-the-art memory care centres.
