Living Life...Loving Life
Our motto, ‘living life…loving life’ reflects our desire to make Archer a great place for you to become a family member of.
To ‘love life’ in all its fullness and enjoy each day for the treasure it is.
We are committed to offering our ‘LIFE’ Vision to everyone involved at Archer, and I hope you enjoy learning about this.
Loving Life : Enriching Lives
Many places try to minimise the physical ailments we face as we grow older, while Archer focuses on the human spirit.
A healthy spirit translates to a healthy body. We want to enrich people’s lives by either fostering or reconnecting you with your passions and interests. Through the Archer ‘LIFE’ Vision we strive to offer a Purpose to live for today, Hope for tomorrow, and Companionship through the family you become a part of.
Investment : Ensuring affordbility
Archer strives to offer an affordable range of services that are very competitive to other choices of Retirement Villages you have available.
Archer also offers a zero fees option for those living in it's retirement villages in relation to their weekly service fee payments. Therefore as a resident of Archer Village you have the opportunity to fix your weekly fees for the duration of your licence. This means you can have peace of mind and certainty when coming to your weekly budgeting.
Faith : Embracing Faith
Archer was founded with a Christian belief and set of values, but we welcome everyone from all walks of life.
At Archer we provide opportunities for people to explore faith and what it means to them, to discuss and consider the Christian faith, and make their own decisions from that. We employ a Chaplain who is involved in the weekly life of the Archer Ministries. Our Chaplain is happy to meet with people as needed and oversees the weekly devotionals and interdenominational church service held each Sunday at Archer Care.
Exciting : Encouraging Adventure
‘Living life…Loving life’ We hope that everyone at Archer will really ‘love their life’ through the friendships they make with fellow residents.
Our aim is that people are ‘living life’ and enjoying themselves so much that they will end up ‘loving life’ as a family member of the Archer Village.
We have a dedicated Activities Team that prepare a monthly calendar of activities for everyone. Each month this programme is changed to ensure there is a variety of activities to suit a range of interests and abilities. There are a number of special events during the year, like a Mid-Winters Banquet, day trips to places like Akaroa and Hanmer Springs. There is also an annual ‘Camp Holiday’ which in previous years has included travelling to the West Coast, Marlborough Sounds and Mt Cook, and yes we even go jet boating!
