Living Arrangements Designed for Different Needs
Choose the arrangement that fits your preferences for privacy, activity, and island living.
Return HomeOur Approach to Residential Care
Hushwood recognizes that elderly residents have varied preferences for how they wish to spend their later years. Some value social connection and prefer shared living spaces, while others prioritize privacy and quiet. Some enjoy structured activities and engagement, while others prefer unhurried days without schedules.
Rather than offering a single approach, we provide three distinct living arrangements, each designed to support different priorities while maintaining the same foundation of compassionate care, quality meals, and connection with Koh Samui's natural beauty.
All arrangements include around-the-clock staff support, housekeeping and laundry services, and coordination with local healthcare providers when needed. The difference lies in the level of privacy, the balance of structure versus flexibility, and the physical setting within the residence grounds.
Island Home Residency
/month
The foundational living arrangement at Hushwood. A private room in the main timber-framed building, surrounded by coconut palms and tropical gardens, with shared common areas for socializing and dining.
What's Included
- Private room with comfortable bed, wardrobe, ceiling fan, air conditioning, and sliding doors to shared veranda
- Three meals daily from in-house kitchen, blending southern Thai and international cuisines, adjusted for dietary needs
- 24-hour staff assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other daily activities
- Access to covered deck, reading corner, and garden paths suitable for gentle walking
- Regular housekeeping and laundry service
- Coordination with local healthcare providers for appointments and medication management
Suitable For
Residents who value companionship, appreciate a social atmosphere, and are comfortable with shared dining and common areas. This arrangement works well for those who enjoy the gentle rhythm of communal island living.
Island Discovery & Wellness Program
/month
An add-on program (or standalone option for residents living elsewhere on the island) that provides structured engagement with Koh Samui's natural and cultural offerings through guided activities and excursions.
Program Activities
- Morning beach walks on quiet stretches of sand, weather permitting
- Gentle seated yoga sessions on the deck, adapted for varying mobility levels
- Thai herb garden tours and coconut oil soap-making workshops
- Group fruit tasting sessions featuring tropical varieties
- Monthly excursions to island temples, fishing villages, and scenic viewpoints with comfortable transport
- Sunset viewing gatherings and seasonal activities like shell collecting or kite flying
Program Philosophy
Activities are entirely optional and designed to inspire rather than require participation. A wellness coordinator tailors the schedule to seasonal conditions and resident preferences, introducing new offerings as interest arises. Family members visiting the island are welcome to join.
Beachside Timber Bungalow
/month
A standalone timber bungalow on the residence grounds, a short walk from a quiet beach. Designed for those who value privacy and quiet while still having access to full care support and community programs.
Bungalow Features
- Spacious bedroom with ceiling-to-floor louvered windows for natural light and breeze
- Private bathroom with rainfall shower and safety bars
- Living area furnished with comfortable wicker furniture
- Wraparound deck shaded by mature trees, with views toward the sea
- Personal attendant available daily for assistance with morning routines, meal coordination, accompaniment on walks, and conversation
- All meals, housekeeping, laundry, and access to community programs included
Who This Suits
Residents who wish to live close to the sea in a thoughtfully cared-for private space, with a dedicated person nearby to ensure comfort and ease throughout each day. This arrangement provides the privacy of independent living with the security of immediate support.
