Advice about Retirement Living

Retirement living is designed for people over 55 who are still active enough to live independently, providing a close community of like-minded people. An aged care home provides an increased level of support for people who are no longer able to live independently, with round the clock care available.

Some pets may be allowed in a retirement village, depending on the village rules and the type of pet. Pet arrangements may consider safety, suitability, neighbours, property requirements and approval processes.

Next step: Ask Helping Hand about pet guidelines before choosing a retirement living unit.

Retirement villages are generally designed for older people who can live independently but want a lower-maintenance home in a more supported, community-based environment. Eligibility, age requirements and village agreements can vary. Retirement living is different from residential aged care because it does not provide 24/7 nursing care.

Next step: Contact Helping Hand to discuss retirement living options, current availability and whether a village may suit your needs.

Yes, visitors are generally welcome in retirement living, including family and friends. Visitor stays may depend on village rules, the type of unit and any relevant agreement terms.

Next step: Ask Helping Hand about visitor guidelines for the retirement village you are considering.

Retirement village living is designed for people who are independent, without the need for 24/7 care.

However, we understand that health issues or changes in your circumstances can sometimes arise unexpectedly. For this reason, Helping Hand can assist with home care services should the need arise, to keep you living independently in your home for as long as possible.
