Summer Dunes Retirement Village
11 Richardson Road, Summerstrand, Gqeberha, Eastern Cape
Summer Dunes Retirement Village is a retirement village in Summerstrand, Gqeberha, where residents live on a life-right basis. The village is registered as a Non Profit Organization. Development began in 2006 and the village was fully commissioned in August 2013. It has 117 units in total, made up of independent living units and 10 assisted living units. Residents have a primary health care clinic, home based care that replaces the need for a frail care unit, catered meals, 24 hour manned security and access control, and a community centre with a bar, games, library, hairdresser and coffee shop. According to the village's website, the life rights are sold by the Summer Strand Retirement Village Trust, and when a life right ends the resident or their estate receives 80% of the resale value, less refurbishment costs. The website says that all life rights are currently fully subscribed and a waiting list is open.
