Security

Experienced management

Living Choice has successfully developed and managed retirement villages for many years. We are proud of the homes we offer, both in the quality of construction and the features and inclusions.
We also offer quality care second to none if you need it.

Security of premises and village life

The decision to leave your old family home is never taken lightly. Our Living Choice villages are quality residential developments with marvellous facilities and a wide range of activities.

We know that security is important to you, and you can rest assured that you will feel secure at a Living Choice village. This comes from knowing that you are living in a village with neighbours who watch out after you, and where dedicated staff are on call 24 hours a day.

Security of tenure

Another aspect of security is the tenure under which you occupy your home. We believe that the leasehold tenure, which you enter into when you come to any of our villages, is the safest way to move into a retirement village.

Security of "Living Choice" care program

Sooner or later we all age and that is why at the core of our Living Choice culture is our Living Choice care program which is described in the section “Live well”.

The security of leasehold

The major advantage for a resident in a leasehold title retirement village is that the owner has a long-term financial interest in the continuing success of the village.

The owner of a leasehold village is the party bound to provide the services, facilities and maintenance. The rights and obligations of residents are clearly set out in the lease, and cannot be changed without your consent.

Continuity of management is assured by leasehold, and residents of a leasehold village need not be concerned with management issues and village infrastructure if they do not wish.

Security of tenure is guaranteed by registration of the leasehold interest at the Land Titles Office (NSW), and Department of Natural Resources (QLD). All new Living Choice leases are lifetime leases of 99 years.

A considerable saving on stamp duty is also achieved for residents under a leasehold arrangement. For more information, see the section entitled Other important information.
