A number of Arvida communities offer independent living in villas and townhouses, which range in size from one to three bedrooms. Floor plans, styles and furnishings are different in every location, so each home has architectural character and features unique to its community. Most homes have a single or double garage.

Living in a villa or townhouse within an Arvida community gives you the freedom of independent living, but without the security and maintenance worries of traditional home ownership. You can come and go as you please and the family can stay any time.

Whether you’re on your own or part of a couple, independent apartment living means no more lawn mowing or house maintenance – and definitely no more worrying about home security while you’re travelling. Every luxurious apartment comes with a 24-hour emergency call button for immediate help.

Arvida independent apartments are often elevated, to make the most of views and sunshine. Floor plans are user-friendly and contemporary - the ideal blank canvas for personalisation with your own furniture and art. Apartments are always handy to community facilities and activities, so getting bored or feeling lonely is out of the question.

An Arvida serviced apartment lets you enjoy an independent lifestyle, but without the nuisance of home maintenance and housework. You can entertain friends and family, take holidays and enjoy hobbies - just as you would in your previous home. Your fully equipped, self-contained serviced apartment also lets you access care services as you need them, ranging from a little help with everyday tasks through to full-time care.

Serviced apartments are usually one-bedroom or studio, with a bathroom, kitchenette and living area. Community facilities are typically nearby, so it’s easy to get to activities, exercise sessions and social occasions.

If you need full-time care and support, you don’t have to move into a traditional-style rest home. Aged care is provided differently today and accommodation styles have changed. One of the most popular new options is a care suite, defined as a one-bedroom or studio apartment that’s purchased by way of ORA (occupational right agreement), where you receive the daily care and support you need.

Care suites at Arvida communities are cleverly designed, beautifully presented and fully furnished. You can also look forward to a generous balcony and windows with a pleasant outlook. Once you’ve moved into your care suite, it feels good to know you won’t need to move again if your care requirements increase; both rest home and hospital-level care can be provided in your care suite. Arvida care suites are designed to make the most of our household style of living.

Across many of our communities, we provide short-term respite and long-term full-time care in warm, welcoming environments. Our care centres provide for a smaller number of residents; the average number of residents across the group is around 60. Rooms within each centre vary in size and can be personalised with favourite artworks, pictures of family and other treasures.

Residents have access to a range of facilities within their community - such as a library, resident lounges and beautiful grounds - and can be involved in all sorts of activities around the community and the nearby neighbourhood.
