Retirement Villages provide comprehensive care
Retirement Villages
The Australian Insititute of Health and Welfare has released and evaluation of an Australian Government initiative, the Retirement Villages Care Pilot (RVCP ). This trialled the provision of flexible care packages into retirement villages in metropolitan, regional and rural locations across Australia.
The evaluation found that RVCP packages deliver a more comprehensive range of services than Community Aged Care Packages, and are able to deliver service levels ranging from a low-level HACC service of one type of assistance up to that of a typical Extended Aged Care at Home package, or higher.
