RETIREMENT VILLAGES
for the
“not-so
retiring”
Now is the time when you can really enjoy life. You have time to pursue your hobbies and get involved in new activities. Living in one of our villages is more than just residing in a beautiful home situated in lush garden surroundings, it is about being part of a caring community. Here, we’ve created a supportive and welcoming environment where friendships flourish and memories are made.
We understand that this chapter of life can bring unique challenges, which is why we’re committed to providing a safe, comfortable and engaging lifestyle for all our residents from vibrant social activities to compassionate support, we are here for one another every step of the way.
Our community is built on the Christian values of kindness, empathy and understanding. We celebrate milestones, share stories, and offer a helping hand when needed. Together, we have created a community where we can age gracefully, surrounded by love, laughter, and deep sense of belonging. We are proud to call this special place our home, and we invite you to join our caring community where the heart is always warm and welcoming.
CBCS retirement villages are happy, friendly places with a genuine sense of community – a real heart, where your friends and family are always welcome.

“Independent Living”
is just that – living as independently as you currently do at home but with the added benefits of security, no maintenance worries, future peace of mind and everything our village has to offer.
Health
As we age, people sometimes have more health concerns and want to live with somewhere with care on hand. All our retirement villages have call buttons with access to 24 hours emergency assistance. We can assist you with in-home support and care services to enable you to remain living at home as long as you want, safely and independently. All of our villages also have Aged Care Homes co-located on site should higher care be required.
Maintenance
Maintaining the gardens, lawn, the exterior of the house and possibly even a pool can be time consuming, costly and exhausting. These onerous tasks are all taken care of at our villages with all costs covered in your weekly levies. Some people may consider downsizing from a house to an apartment outside a retirement village and although there is less maintenance there is still a concern that you may have to find more money for special levies, as well as other issues over which you have no control such as noise and a transient population.
Security and Social isolation
Some people feel a little isolated living at home for a couple of reasons.
- Perhaps they no longer hold a driver’s license or are unable to drive themselves, meaning they no longer have the independence to get out and about to do the shopping or go out to social occasions. At all our villages we provide a village bus for regular trips to the shops. Our buses are also available for various planned social outings organised by the village and residents.
- Others have expressed a degree of loneliness of living in their suburban street with their neighbours at work. Living within a retirement village you are part of a vibrant community in the company of other residents with whom many people forge wonderful social connections. A full range of services, facilities and activities at our villages also means you can choose to be as involved as much or as little as you wish.
