Types of villages (larger, smaller, co-located with aged care)

There are a range of different retirement communities to choose from across Australia. From larger villages with exciting facilities to smaller communities with a neighbourly feel, any decision to move into a village should be led by thinking about the environment that best suits your lifestyle, any support needs, and your hopes for the future.

Larger villages

If you enjoy an active lifestyle, a larger village might work best for you.

Larger villages often come with many exciting recreational amenities right on your doorstep.

You can spend your leisurely days adopting new hobbies and spending time with your village community. Depending on the village, you could have a daily dip in the pool, play lawn bowls with friends, watch a movie in the theatre, stay active in the gym or enjoy great food at the on-site restaurant.

In a larger village, you can maintain an active and sociable lifestyle without the worry of gym memberships, pool cleaners and constant travel.

Facilities in larger villages are varied, giving you more choices based on what you enjoy most.

Smaller villages

If you prefer a slower pace, a smaller village might work better for you.

Smaller villages tend to have fewer amenities but a tight knit, neighbourly feel.

Properties within a smaller village can often be located around a community centre that always becomes a great social hub. You'll be able to get involved in fun activities like card games, exercise classes, creative projects and regular outings, while getting to know your friendly neighbours in a more relaxing way.

Co-located with aged care 

If you feel like you, a partner or friend may one day need more assistance for day-to-day life, a village co-located with an aged care service could be a great option for your overall lifestyle and wellbeing.

Like all villages, these offer private retirement living properties, but in this case, these are located near an aged care service. If the time comes, transitioning into aged care can be less daunting if it's on your doorstep and you’re already familiar with the surroundings.

It’s also easier for you to regularly visit and maintain that close connection with a partner or friends who live in aged care.

Choosing what's right for you

If you’re thinking of a move to a retirement village, the varied village types on offer provide you with a range of choices so that you can retire with comfort and confidence.

An encouraging first step is to visit different types of villages and take part in activities on offer. You’ll then get a better feel for the environment that works best for you.
