Apartments with services

If you’re considering a move into retirement living, an apartment with services could be an ideal option if you want to continue living independently with the help of a little extra in-home support.

Your apartment may come with a selection of services available - like meals and cleaning - that you will have the flexibility to choose from, or there may be a set of services included.

You may be able to access meals, weekly fresh linen or cleaning services. Be sure to speak with the community manager about the different options available to find what package might work best for you.

You might also need a little more flexibility - some weeks you may want more meals, other weeks you may want less - so always ask your community manager about this.

Benefits of apartments with services

When choosing your new retirement home, you’ll want to consider how you plan to enjoy your retirement. You want your home to suit your needs now and into the future.

Consider your lifestyle. Are you struggling to keep up with the day-to-day? Could you do with extra help around the house and cooking?

Serviced apartments within retirement communities are one-storey spaces that can be an ideal choice for when a little extra support is needed.

Apartments with services can often be tailored to suit your needs. You can enjoy the support of services ranging from housecleaning, weekly fresh linen and meals, to support from a personal care assistant.You’ll live comfortably and independently, with more time to do the things you love.

Apartment options

From compact studios within city high-rises to spacious multi-room penthouses, there's plenty of variety to choose from when it comes to apartment living. It all comes down to what works for you.

Apartments will be single level and often feature open-plan living layouts, light-filled spaces and high-quality fixtures and fittings. These properties can be wide in range and offerings, with some featuring beautiful airy balconies, modern kitchens, and multiple rooms to have the family over. In addition, neutral interior design features are common, providing you with the ability to decorate to your tastes and make the space your own.

Retirement apartments are designed with your accessibility and safety in mind. Elevators within apartment buildings will allow for easy access into your home, making for a safe living environment for all residents with mobility needs.

Renovations and updates

You'll often have the flexibility to renovate your apartment, but you’ll likely need to seek approval from your retirement community manager first.

There are often policies in place to protect the safety and comfort of all residents and to safeguard the aesthetic qualities and structural integrity of the buildings.

If you’ve been given approval for a renovation, you’ll find that work must be carried out by qualified, registered tradespeople holding appropriate licences and insurances.

Always speak with your retirement community about its renovation policy.
