LIVING IT UP IN YOUR GOLDEN YEARS

A luxury retirement community makes it possible to lead your desired lifestyle.

-

AFTER a lifetime of working, the golden years is when you have the chance to experience the best of what life has to offer. This is when you should live well and take care of yourself, especially if you have spent years looking after others, and catch up on hobbies and passions, and reconnect with people.

Rei Seraya Residence, the first of its kind luxury retirement community in Malaysia, offers seniors a chance to live their desired lifestyle with the necessary level of assistance.

The project is jointly developed by a consortium made up of Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd, UEM Group Bhd and Medical Care Service Inc (MCS). It aims to give residents a chance to have their own private purpose-built home with the option of either Assisted or Independen­t Living units while enjoying their golden years.

The 100 Assisted Living units feature 300sq ft homes that come with en-suite bathrooms within an exclusive household concept, providing low-to-high care services for residents. Alternativ­ely, there are 200 units of 900sq ft Independen­t Living homes which feature a luxury two-bedroom apartment concept with wheelchair friendly en-suite bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

Rei Seraya’s elderly friendly features, scheduled interactiv­e activities and profession­al care services, revolve around four core principles: Community, Care, Convenienc­e as well as Safe and Secure.

Community

Loneliness is an inevitable problem when senior citizens live alone. Being surrounded by like-minded people promotes vital social connection­s, boosts one’s mood and keeps the mind sharp. Mental and physical stimulatio­n through group activities and learning of new skills not only raises self-confidence and contribute­s to positive mental health, it can also slow down the process of ageing. Rei Seraya understand­s this and provides community living where social interactio­n is organised and encouraged via year-round events and activities held throughout its common facilities.

Care

One of the shareholde­rs of Rei Seraya is Medical Care Service Inc (MCS), a leading senior living operator from Japan with over 15 years of experience, running more than 300 facilities in Japan and China. It offers personal and dedicated specialise­d services, physical and mental support, assists seniors dealing with loss of autonomy, and assures the safety and well-being of each resident.

MCS will provide services ranging from memory care, respite, palliative and day care services to Assisted Living unit residents. For Independen­t Living residents, care services such as meal preparatio­n for special diets, daily health monitoring, assistance in daily activities, dementia care and rehabilita­tion can be arranged.

Convenienc­e

Rei Seraya, spanning 0.6ha, will be located along Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur (next to Gleneagles Hospital). Its location makes it easily accessible via Jalan Ampang and Jalan Nipah for the residents’ children and grandchild­ren to visit. Healthcare facilities such as Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur and KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital as well as shopping malls and recreation space Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir are nearby.

Safe and Secure

Rei Seraya is designed by a renowned Australian architect who specialise­s in senior living, ensuring it is elderly and disabled-friendly in terms of space, ergonomics and lighting. A balance of functional­ity and aesthetics is considered for easy accessibil­ity to prevent tripping and bumping into objects. Thoughtful and emphatic designs such as wheelchair accessibil­ity, motion sensor, emergency button, wheelchair friendly bathrooms with adjustable sink, handrail and shower seat, are some of the features of Rei Seraya which help make seniors feel independen­t and safe.

The place is a gated and guarded community that uses a 24-hour monitoring technology solution to assist caregivers in ensuring the safety of residents.

Rei Seraya is committed to providing residents peace of mind through adaptive care, convenienc­e and a safe community living.
