Care villages

With Care villages people are able to make a choice between fully independent living, assisted living (extra care) or 24 hour nursing care - where care staff are on site for 24 hours a day. Most care villages will include all 3 models of accommodation within the village.

The wide range of on-site facilities can include:

a café
restaurant
elegant sitting rooms
hairdressing salon
landscaped gardens
bowling green

Some models even have a swimming pool and spa.

You can search the Care Services Directory to see information about care villages or retirement villages.

If you feel you are in need of this type of support you can discuss appropriate support from the local authority or a private care agency following an assessment of care and support needs.
