Cheers for the vote of confidence
Trust is built in the little moments - a friendly hello, a helping hand, a great meal shared, or knowing support is there when you need it.
We’re delighted to share that Summerset has been named winner in the Aged Care & Retirement Villages category at the 2026 New Zealand Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands awards.
The Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand Awards are one of New Zealand’s longest‑running measures of consumer trust. The results reflect real‑world experiences and long‑held perceptions of trust, reliability and consistency. Winners are determined entirely by public vote, making the awards a meaningful reflection of the confidence New Zealanders place in the brands they choose.
To everyone who calls Summerset home, and to the families and communities around our villages - thank you.

"Trust is something you earn, not something you assume. For us, it’s built every day through the care our people provide, the way we support residents and their families, and the communities we create across our villages. On behalf of Summerset, I want to thank New Zealanders who voted for us, our residents and their families for placing their trust in us, and to acknowledge our teams around the country for the commitment and pride they bring to their work."
Scott Scoullar, Summerset CEO
