One of the first things visitors notice about Arvida’s Ilam Living Well Community in Christchurch is a feeling of calm and contentedness, it is often said we are a community with a heart. In this long-established haven, which is framed by beautiful gardens, residents are encouraged to be themselves, express their thoughts and make their own choices. It all contributes to a happy community where everyone has what they need to feel at home.

We offer assisted living in serviced apartments and studios as well as long-term rest home, hospital and dementia care.

We have Garden Studios available now and would love to show you around Arvida Ilam, please give us a call.

Special Features

Special Features
At Ilam, residents are grouped into households, it’s a concept that ensures you see the same staff members every day, so you get to know them really well. It also supports closer friendships with other residents. You’ll make friends beyond your household as well as the daily activities programme can involve the whole community together. In addition to crafts, games, movies, bowls, fitness programmes and singalongs around the piano, there are regular excursions in the van. Ilam’s central location makes it easy to enjoy some of Christchurch’s most scenic places, like the Botanic Gardens, Hagley Park, and Riccarton House and Bush. For shopping trips and café catch ups, the Bush Inn Centre indoor mall is just around the corner.

The Ministry of Health conducts regular audits of Residential Care Facilities. They can be found HERE.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.

In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
