“24 hour care in the privacy of your own home within a secure supportive community”. Demand for a new kind of aged care lifestyle has seen the arrival of Sunrise Supported Living Communities in Victoria and New South Wales. These relatively new communities combine the best advantages of retirement villages and nursing homes, to provide a new and welcome choice for seniors. In a Supported Living Community residents buy and have leasehold title to their own home, as with many retirement villages. However, unlike a traditional retirement village, residents have access to various levels of personal care and nursing care, with the distinct difference being that this care and support is provided in the privacy of their own home, a choice not available in nursing homes. This means residents can “age in place” and may never have to move again.
