Fairways Lifestyle Village is the final phase of the Victoria Country Club Estate development, with a prime north-facing location above the 18th hole of the Victoria Country Club golf course. The village has been carefully designed by the developers to create a superior living and Home-based Care residential community for discerning seniors, providing a fitting final addition to the multi-generati
onal upmarket estate community. The global trend is for people to stay at home until they reach an advanced age, being looked after by professional carers in the comfort and privacy of their homes, surrounded or in close proximity to family and friends. Seniors are refusing to compromise on their independence; they don’t want to share a room at a facility with a complete stranger or someone they would not choose to live with. Your home for the rest of your life
There is also a move towards younger residents being integrated into senior-living communities, with people from the mid-50s onwards preferring to move into a secure living environment where their changing needs can be met for the rest of their lives. Moving into such an environment while they are younger and more adaptable, alleviates the anxiety and disorientation experienced by older people when they have to move because of enforced circumstances rather than by choice. Fairways Lifestyle Village caters for several age groups, starting with the 55- to 65-year-olds. This group may be experiencing the ‘empty nest’ syndrome, with their children grown up and/or moved away to study. But downsizing should not mean a compromise in your way of life or losing the freedom you currently experience. The second targeted age group is the 65- to 75-year-olds, followed by the 75- to 85-year-olds and finally, the 85-plus group. The Village caters for the specific needs of every category. Residents can enjoy a wide choice of activities, including squash, tennis, golf, cycling, and walking, which can be enjoyed at the individual’s chosen fitness and energy levels. Several shopping malls, the city’s museums and art gallery, the nearby Midlands Meander and other attractions are close by. As you grow older, your needs change, but your home doesn’t have to
Fairways Lifestyle Village at Victoria Country Club Estate offers a balance between independence and assisted living, preventative and high care. Residents will be able to live completely independently or purchase their desired level of care from a menu of services, all managed within a structured Wellness Management Programme operating from the Village Care Centre. The Care Centre will house the Home-based Care nursing staff and care givers, and will be completed as part of the first phase of the development, comprising seventeen luxury 2- and 3-bedroomed Fairways Cottages. Home-based Care will be available 24/7, and will range from low levels of assisted living, up to 24-hour live-in care, with other on-site support services offered in line with the international move away from institutionalised living. The quiet of the countryside yet close to the city
While the village is located on high ground overlooking the evergreen golf course and verdant Town Bush Valley, proximity to suburban roads and the N3 highway does introduce an element of noise, especially from heavy vehicles descending the adjacent Town Hill. The village will be effectively buffered from this peripheral sound by the carefully considered layout, design and construction of individual structures, and the location of three-storey apartment buildings along the entire rear boundary. Fairway frontage cottages and maisonettes will be carefully embedded within the existing topography, and cavity walls and double glazing will be used in all structures, all of which face away from the freeway and to the north and northeast. The village will be beautifully landscaped with indigenous plants, shrubs and trees, in harmony with the rest of the estate, ensuring a peaceful and tranquil environment for walkers and bird watchers. The property is traversed by two water course and wetland areas which will be maintained to ensure maximum biodiversity, and a suitable habitat for local wildlife and birdlife. Security and continuity
Security is a multi-faceted concept in today’s world. It encompasses your personal physical safety and protection for your family and friends who come to visit, as well as your possessions and property. It also includes your long-term mental and emotional well-being, ensuring your ability to enjoy your life free from stress and uncertainty. With this in mind, it is important to consider what Victoria Country Club Estate and its final phase, the Fairways Lifestyle Village, have to offer:
Every resident of the Fairways Lifestyle Village will be in constant contact with our trained Care personnel through reliable communication networks and alarm systems.
The Village falls within the secure perimeter of the larger estate, with all estate entrances and exits, and the entire perimeter fence, controlled and monitored by security staff and thermal camera surveillance. The entire area is open and expansive enough for there to be no sense of restricted space. Walks, hikes, cycling as well as other sports and activities can be enjoyed with an accompanying sense of freedom.
The Village Community Centre will be completed as part of the final phase of construction of the three-storey apartment blocks. This centre will offer a convenient selection of day-to-day retail and leisure options such as a pharmacy, hair and beauty salons, doctor’s rooms, a gym, library, lounge area, and a delicatessen, depending on demand from the village residents.
To ensure the highest quality standards of construction and finishing, the developers will be using only the city’s leading building contractors. Trusted, proven local professional consultants, contractors and service providers, who have been involved with the development for many years and are reassessed annually, will be installing all required services to the village. The developers have been committed to the estate for the past two decades and are understandably proud of the success the estate has enjoyed. They regard the opportunity to complete the development with Fairways Lifestyle Village as perhaps their crowning achievement.
The village will follow strict health safety measures learned from the coronavirus pandemic, including comprehensive access and movement controls, sanitising, testing and monitoring. The selection of Home-based Care in preference to institutionalised care in frail care centres and assisted living blocks, is itself a choice informed by the increased health risks such institutions have experienced worldwide.
Within Fairways Lifestyle Village, you will share your life with friends and acquaintances from within your own communities, as an integral part of the multi-generational community of the wider Victoria Country Club Estate. Choose the Fairways Lifestyle Village way of life - forever
