When is the best time to move?
Everyone's situation is different; if you're over 55 and love the idea of reducing home maintenance and continuing to enjoy a neighbourhood you know and love, there's no reason why you shouldn't consider an Ardency property. While there are no disadvantages of moving too early, waiting too long may mean you miss out on making the most of the facilities, convenience and friendships that can be formed.

A retirement living property is a community of residences and facilities designed for anyone who is over 55 years old and still active enough to live independently in their own home. As a resident of an Ardency property, you will benefit from added security, a community environment and additional features like community facilities and customisable services.
An Ardency property is suitable for a person who is 55 and over, whether retired or still working part-time.
Yes, absolutely. We have many residents who are still actively working while living in an Ardency property.
An Ardency property is designed for people over 55 who can live independently in their own home while enjoying the shared facilities and benefits of retirement living. In contrast, residents who live in residential aged care facilities (including nursing homes) require a level of daily care for their health and safety. Entry into government funded aged care is based on an assessment by a government-appointed Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
This is your home, so friends and family are most welcome to stay with you. Of course, other residents appreciate the fact that they know who their neighbours are, so for extended stays, residents need to talk to their Ardency Manager and let them know who is staying and for how long. For example, if your visitor is staying more than 14 days, it will need to be documented and discussed with the Ardency Manager.
