Retirement Villages

Brisbane

A retirement village is a purpose-built community which offers a range of accommodation, services and facilities to people who want to consider a change in lifestyle to suit the next chapter of their lives. Retirement villages tend to have a strong focus on community, lifestyle and convenient access to amenities including cafes, gyms, pools, communal dining areas and more.

It’s important to remember that retirement living isn’t aged care. Residential aged care homes (also referred to as nursing homes) are a residential setting in which residents have constant access to high levels of care.

Retirement living communities are a place people move into to maintain their independence and keep living life on their terms.

People move into retirement villages for choice and freedom. But what that means is different for every person.

A move into retirement living could be for:

• Better position - closer to families and friends
• Better location - near the beach, near shops/restaurants or to live more rurally
• A more manageable home - one that’s easier to maintain
• Financial freedom - Spending less money on property and leaving more money in your back pocket
• Security - locking up a home and travelling without any concern

There’s a lot to consider when looking for a retirement village that’s right for you.
