| Answer: |
Many retirement villages include or are adjacent to a residential aged care home. However, the retirement village is regulated by state legislation and the residential aged care home is subsidised and regulated by Commonwealth legislation. Even if there is a residential aged care home on the site, there is no guarantee that residents of the village will get a place there when they need one. The residential care home will only have a fixed number of places. Once the places are filled they cannot force someone out to admit a village resident. The ACAT will be able to tell you of other homes in the area.
