This is pure Based Video storytelling: raw, real, and beautifully shot. In Summerset's official Guide to Care series, Shelley (a Summerset sales manager) shares her personal experience moving her mum into care – from starting those tough conversations and getting a Needs Assessment (NASC), to finances, subsidies, finding the right home, admission agreements, and making it feel like home with person-centred support.

Filmed and produced by Based Video, this heartfelt guide walks families through the key steps of the care journey in New Zealand retirement villages, highlighting Summerset's trusted continuum of care (independent living to rest home, hospital, and memory care options). It's designed to bring clarity, reduce worry, and show how person-centred care keeps independence and quality of life at the heart.

We at Based Video specialise in videos that cut through the noise – authentic human stories and educational content, shot with precision, edited for impact, and delivered without fluff. Proud to have produced this series for Summerset to help Kiwi families navigate aged care with confidence.

If you're in video production and want work that feels this genuine (or exploring retirement/care options), hit us up. Let's make something based.
