Full research note
Entry prices found, both only on the Ranfurly Manor village page (promisia.co.nz/ranfurly-manor, also reached via the eldernet "Visit website" link): Care Suites (ORA) priced at $185,000 (Suite 1), $185,000 (Suite 16), and $195,000 (Suite 36); separately, the eldernet-sourced version of the same page states "Villa prices range from $445,000.00 to $535,000.00." Both figures sit on the same URL, so this is reported as-is rather than guessed at, treat as two different unit types (care suite vs villa) rather than a contradiction. Ongoing cost noted for Ranfurly Manor: residents "pay a monthly corporate maintenance fee which includes lawn mowing, gardening and any additional maintenance work," while rates and building insurance are paid by Ranfurly Manor. No entry price or ongoing-cost figure is published for Ripponburn Home & Hospital, its page only shows a generic enquiry/booking contact. No disclosure statement PDF, ORA template, or dedicated fees/pricing page exists anywhere on promisia.co.nz; the site repeatedly directs enquirers to contact the facility manager by phone/email for a "written quote."
Disclosure statement (the village's summary of the deal)
Not published online. The law says the village must give you one before you sign an occupation right agreement (the contract that lets you live there), and it sets out every fee. Ask for it early.
What would you get back?
For comparison only, the calculator shows what you would get back at 25% and 30%, the most common exit fees among villages we have checked. They are not this village's fees. Before weekly fees and any other charges.
