Are you the discerning, independent home seeker, someone who intends buying their retirement home while they still have a good stable income?
Have you worked your whole life to get to this point, and now considering active and socially varied lifestyle, with the emphasis on healthy living, but who wishes to simplify your life by removing the issues of maintenance, insurance and security normally associated with private suburban home ownership?
It’s all about planning!
‘How will I spend my time?’ ‘Where will I live?’ ‘How much money will I have and how much will I need?’ ‘What do I want to do with the rest of my life?’ These are just some of the many questions that you might find yourself asking when you start thinking about your retirement. A bit overwhelming isn’t it? For this reason, it is vital to have a guide to assist you to navigate through this unchartered terrain.
Consider these questions when buying a retirement home:
- Does the Estate offer you independence with the added benefit of a lock up and go lifestyle.
- Does the Estate enable you to continue the lifestyle to which you are accustomed?
- Is the neighbourhood safe and secure to walk around in?
- Do you have friends or family nearby?
- Does this Estate have suitable proximity to medical facilities, doctors, dentists or health practitioners and good hospitals etc.?
- Does the Estate in which your home is situated, offer “continuing care models”, where the resident starts out in independent living and receives increasing levels of care as and when needed?
- Should it become necessary, would the facility on the estate cater for Frail Care or Memory Care for those with cognitive or dementia challenges?
- Are the homes senior friendly, wide passages, accessible bathroom amenities etc.?
- Have the sales agents specially been trained to assist and guide me in the purchase of my next home?

The informed choice for retirement
The need for Assisted Villages in South Africa has become a necessity rather than a luxury, with a demand so great that potential buyers often end up on a waiting list.
Very few South African towns and cities have the privilege of any and often insufficient facilities. In most cases the elderly residents are left with no option other than to relocate. We believe it is important to find a facility where you will feel “at home”.
“Why would anyone not invest in Macadamia? Perhaps they simply weren’t in the know!” (The Lowvelder. 19 Dec ‘08)
The beginnings of the Macadamia Village Concept
Purchaser’s in the Macadamia @ The Aloes Assisted Living Estate can have peace of mind that Tony Lagerwey (Pty) Ltd, the developers proved themselves as developers with integrity, having been in the construction and development industry since 1959.
Amongst the Macadamia Village developer’s achievements, have been the particularly successful, Macadamia Village White River (est. 1994), Macadamia Village West Acres (Nelspruit), Macadamia Village Tzaneen, whilst Macadamia @ The Aloes in Polokwane, Macadamia Barberton and Macadamia Sonheuwel (2nd for Nelspruit) are in various stages of development.

Is u ‘n person wat op die uitkyk na ‘n unieke geleentheid vir die aankoop van ‘n aftree-woning terwyl u steeds ‘n stabiele inkomste verdien of u beleggings te gelde wil maak? Het u nou by die punt gekom waar u kyk na ‘n vereenvoudige dag, gesonde aktiewe en sosiale lewenstyl? Een wat die wegdoen met die rompslomp van onderhoud, versekering, en veiligheid wat met voorstedelike bewonig gepaard gaan?
Beplanning
Van die vele vrae wat ‘n mens jouself afvra wanneer jy dink aan aftrede is: hoe sal ek my tyd spandeer; hoe lyk my finansies en wat gaan ek benodig; hoe gaan ek op my oudag versorg word? …Sulke vrae is oorweldigend en daarom is dit noodsaaklik om riglyne te hê om ‘n mens te help om die vrees vir die onbekende te oorkom.
Oorweeg die volgende vrae waneer u ‘n eiendom vir afrede aankoop:
- Bied die landgoed aan u onafhanklikheid met die voordele van ‘n “sluit-en-ry” − lewenstyl?
- Bied die Landgoed aan u die geleentheid om u lewenstyl waaraan u gewoond is voort te sit?
- Is die omgewing veilig?
- Is vriende en familie naby?
- Is die Landgoed naby geleë aan mediese fasiliteite?
- Bied die Landgoed “voordurende versorgings modelle” waar die inwoner aanvanklik onafhanklik leef, en soos benodig toenemend versorg word?
- Bied die versorgingseenheid sorg vir verswakte persone en geheue sorg vir diegene wat kognitiewe verlies of dementia ondervind?
- Is die bewoningsareas senior-vriendelik met wye gange, bereikbare badkamer fasiliteite, rystoel-vriendelik en derglike meer?
- Is die verkoopsagente opgelei om hulp te verleen met die aankoop van die eiendom?
Macadamia @ The Aloes
‘n Leefstyl ondersteunde landgoed wat aan alle behoeftes voldoen; van die gesonde person wat min of geen hulp nodig het nie, tot diegene wat besondere sorg benodig. Gemoedsrus is die wagwoord!
Aftrede kan ‘n opwindindende ervaring wees, mits u deel vorm van ‘n ondersteunde lewenstyl landgoed wat voldoen aan u behoeftes, belangstellings en begroting.
Die ingeligte keuse vir aftrede
Die behoefte aan Bystandsoorde in Suid-Afrika het ‘n werklikheid eerder as ‘n luukse geword. Hierdie behoefte is so groot dat potensiële kopers dikwels op waglyste beland. In ons land is die bestaan hiervan ‘n rare voorreg. Waar bystandsoorde wel bestaan is dit dikwels ook ontoereikend en het bejaardes geen ander keuse om as om te verhuis nie. Dis vir ons belangrik om ‘n fasiliteit te skep waar u tuis sal voel.
Die ontstaan van
Die Macadamia Village idee
Die maatskappy, Tony Lagerwey Eiendoms Beperk, bestaan sedert 1959 en het hulleself oor die jare as ontwikkelaars van gehalte bewys.
As deel van hulle wye reeks ontwikkelings bestaan die Macadamia konsep reeds as Macadamia Village Witrivier, Macadamia Village West Acres (Nelspruit) en Macadamia Village Tzaneen. Verdere Macadamia ontwikkelings in Nelspruit, Barberton en Macadamia @ The Aloes (Polokwane) is in verskillende stadia van ontwikkeling.
Die Macadamia versorgingsoord
Gesondheidsorg is een van die hoekstene van die ontwikkeling, veral omdat ons ‘n hoë premie op die welstand van ons inwoners plaas. Die Macadamia versorgingsoord is gesetel in die pragtige Macadamia @ The Aloes Landgoed.
Die versorgingsoord bied verskeie vlakke van versorging van basiese gesondheidsmonitering en noodreaksie aan die bewoners van voltitel eiendomme; bystandsondersteuning in 2-slaapkamer deeltitel eenhede; tot bystandsversorging aan 1-slaapkamer en ateljee wonings. Dit is ons doelwit om inwoners instaat te stel om solank moontlik in hulle eie wooneenhede te woon waar hulle na behore versorg en behandel sal word.
‘n Versorgingsentrum vir verswakte inwoners, eetsaal, sitkamers en aanverwante geriewe waar gespesialiseerde verplegingsorg gebied word, vorm die hartklop van die ondersteunde leef- en versorgingsdiens.
Gesondheidsorg is
een van
die hoekstene
van die ontwikkeling,
‘n Alzheimers versorgingseenheid, apart van die verswakte inwonersorg, sal ook deel vorm van die versorgingsentrum en sal voltydse monitering, hulpverlening en versorging bied.
Dit is ons doelwit by Macadamia @ The Aloes om ‘n gesogte gemeenskap daar te stel wat aan al u behoeftes, huidig sowel as toekomstig, voldoen. Daarom kan u ontspan − hier kan u staatmaak op ‘n aktiewe, sorgvrye lewenswyse in u gemeenskap. Ons glo dat u keuse om in hierdie landgoed te woon, vir u ‘n versekerde toekoms en aantreklike lewenswyse bied.
