We are a voluntary, nationally-based membership association representing operators, developers and managers of retirement villages throughout New Zealand.
We also have a range of suppliers to the retirement village industry who join as associate members.
Retirement village living is now a popular choice for older New Zealanders. More than 53,000 Kiwis now call a retirement village home, and approximately 130 people move in each week.
