People who need less care than that offered by aged care homes may wish to consider independent living units or retirement villages . These residential communities offer a range of services for independent older people.

A retirement village is a housing development designed specifically to cater to the needs and lifestyle of the over 55s.  There are many models and styles of villages, and the accommodation options, services and facilities offered vary from village to village.
