I live on the same road as one of their other developments (Ellerslie), now you have me worried!

20-40 year olds have higher car insurance premiums than 70+ (presumably they have fewer accidents and thefts)
However the 70+ may well travel less and have a higher accident rate per km travelled. A neighbourhood with more seniors could well see the number of accidents drop.

Got back in at 4.30 odd a little while back so pretty happy.
However if I listened to Dad, who is a resident, wouldn't have. Dad says "price to get in now crazy, they are advertising a lot when they didn't have to before".
And after regular visits of late where I have eaten the café lunch have to say the food service is great but the quality of the meals themselves get boring very quickly. Dad says "same supplier as the hospital with all the complaints" Mum says "pass the ginger nuts"
Dad is 90 and Mum is 85. Dad is still driving, god forbid.
All good overall

Normally I would agree with this statement, but not necessarily in this case...

Summerset will have to compete with other aged care providers, and they are all after the same dollar. Marketing has to be kept classy and competitive. Crucial they keep their quality and service high in their cafes as word of mouth spreads quickly. People do not want to hear that the food at "so and so retirement village" is average. My experience with hospitality work is above average and I would thoroughly recommend that if you wish to keep customers happy, both permanent and visiting, you do not lower your level of quality, or increase prices by much if you have increased costs.
Better to have a busy happy cafe with more frequent visitors (and *insert any other business*) then to have a decreasing customer size who are put off by quality. Keep the customers happy and surprised with quality and above all exceptional service. Food is one of our primary needs and if you skimp on quality, you will see the result in many other areas of your business/life. Happy days for Summerset though, they will keep growing, because demand will outstrip supply and they are doing a solid job at keeping up their build rate.
late surge.....
