At Alden, we exist to ensure that everyone, regardless of their means or background, has access to trusted and compassionate retirement living and aged care when they need it. Respite care provides support for carers and enables them to take a break from those important caring responsibilities.
It also gives those who you are caring for the opportunity to engage in new activities and meet new people. Respite services are offered for all levels of care, including hospital, dementia and palliative. Take a break knowing that your loved one is in extremely capable hands.
Our facilities offer a lively activities programme, designed to keep residents engaged, active, and connected. From social gatherings and entertainment to creative pursuits and wellness activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're looking to try something new or revisit an old hobby, our activities program is the perfect way to meet new people and make friends.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (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. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
