Retirement Living Council releases its key messages on retirement villages

Retirement villages are:
1. A key part of the solution to the challenge of ensuring there’s enough housing for older Australians, at prices they can afford
2. An ideal market solution to social problems faced by older Australians
3. Places where people want to live – a prime example of ageing in place
4. More cost-efficient hubs for delivery of in-home care and health care than other models
5. A huge saving for governments on the cost of alternative types of accommodation with services for older Australians
6. A way to free up housing supply, and allow demand to better match supply
