Frequently asked questions
-
How can I secure a home at The Botanic?
To place a hold on a villa or apartment you will need to complete an application with Michelle or Jan, and pay a $5000 deposit.
Your deposit is held in a trust account by Anchorage Trustee Services and is fully refundable if you decide at any point that you don’t want to proceed.
Michelle and Jan are highly experienced in aged care living, and will explain everything to you so that you fully understand the paperwork. This is then sent to your lawyer who will provide you with independent legal advice.
-
Can I bring my pet with me?
Absolutely! The Botanic fully understands that pets are an important part of the family.
Please speak with our Village Manager in advance of moving in and they will provide you with an approval. Your pet is then welcome to move in with you at The Botanic.
Pet owners have standard responsibilities, and these are detailed in our village rules.
-
Can I have people stay in my home?
Of course. We understand the importance of family and friends and they are welcome to stay for short periods of time at The Botanic. All we ask is that you let us know if you have friends or family who will be staying for longer than a week.
-
What if my personal needs change?
The Botanic understands that over time our residents’ needs may change and they could require a greater level of support. To meet those needs, an aged care home and specialist memory care facilities are in development.
