About Kena Kena Rest Home
As an alternative to our Standard Rest Home bedrooms, we also offer Care Suites by way of an Occupation Right Agreement. Our Care Suites are a great option for those who require Rest Home level care but prefer a larger room with a private fully accessible ensuite and kitchenette.
Our Care Suites are certified as Rest Home beds. These Suites allow Residents to receive full Rest Home care while maintaining independence – a great way to transition from living in a larger home.
All Residents living in our Care Suites enjoy our full aged care services and facilities.

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.
