| Mrs Frances Wallen, a serviced apartment resident. "I was living in my own home and wasn't eating very well and was lonely on my own. I was worried about security and nervous about crime in the area......." Her three daughters continue - "We persauded her to try it, so she stayed in a 'homestay' apartment for a short while before making the village her permanent home. Mum is just so happy now. She's with lots of friends her own age and with the same interests". |

The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (hereafter referred to as The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who buy into a retirement village. If you intend to purchase you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Further information about Retirement Villages is available in the section 'Frequent Questions'. Some Retirement Villages are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please do your homework.
