Understanding the Regionalisation Ambition 2032 pillars – Liveability: Addressing the Challenges Ahead Liveability is about ensuring regional Australia has the amenities, services, and lifestyle to sustain the current trend of regional population growth. Targets focus on wellbeing, digital connectivity, transport, housing, medical services, childcare, education and the arts. However, there are challenges ahead. Some key metrics have gone backwards over the past 12 months, highlighting the need for action to improve regional liveability. As our CEO Liz Ritchie explains: "Demand for regional living has never been higher, but as a nation, we are not keeping pace with delivering the fundamental building blocks that are needed as we rebalance the nation." Check out the slides to see how this pillar is progressing. It’s time to step up and deliver for our regions. #RegionalLiveability #RebalanceTheNation #FutureReady #BuildingOurRegions #RegionalChallenges

What's extremely essential is the involvement of those who are familiar with the daily operations and functionalities of the different roles and teams in such facilities. Professional nurses, such as myself, have tremendous insight into the ways facilities can be run when put in place of being a leader for such facilities. Many times we nurses see teams and operations of facilities being run by investors and teams who have NEVER actually done a bed bath, have NEVER changed grotesque wound dressings or seen massive cancerous tumors protruding from tissue mass and other orifices, have NEVER passed medications via a G-Tube (a gastric tube that goes DIRECT to the STOMACH), have NEVER changed a grown a$& adult diaper with low and rationed diapers with diarrhea coming at them after having just changed them, DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND how to divide patients up among floors and nurses as the acuity level of a patient can look different on paper than they appear in real life! This poor execution from management can create facilities with increased stress, creating a culture of tension, and a reduced quality of care for residents. With seasoned nurses in senior living, you can find great leadership as you put your trust in them to grow facilities the right way. In effect, residents will be more happy, and more beds will be full within balance and tolerance of the staff providing care for them. Have a professional nurse with HANDS ON insight and experiences in the field be your leader if you're looking to invest in senior living!

The market for assisted living facilities has a particularly bright future for a number of reasons: Growing Demand: With the aging population and increasing life expectancy, there is a rising demand for senior housing and healthcare services, including assisted living facilities. As baby boomers enter retirement age, the need for supportive living environments that offer assistance with daily activities and personalized care is expected to continue to grow. Changing Demographics: The demographics of the population are shifting, with a larger proportion of older adults reaching retirement age. This demographic trend creates opportunities for investors to capitalize on the demand for senior housing and assisted living services, particularly in regions with aging populations. Healthcare Reform: Healthcare reform initiatives and changes in healthcare policy may impact the delivery and funding of long-term care services, including assisted living. Investors who stay informed about regulatory changes and adapt their investment strategies accordingly can position themselves for success in the evolving healthcare landscape. Private Pay Model: Assisted living facilities typically operate on a private pay model, with residents or their families covering the cost of care and accommodations out-of-pocket or through long-term care insurance. This private pay model offers investors a steady and reliable revenue stream, with less reliance on government funding or reimbursement rates. Real Estate Appreciation: Well-located and well-managed assisted living facilities can experience appreciation in property values over time, providing potential for capital appreciation and long-term investment growth. Operational Flexibility: Assisted living facilities offer flexibility in terms of operational models and service offerings, allowing investors to tailor their facilities to meet the needs and preferences of their target market. This flexibility can help investors adapt to changing market conditions and consumer preferences. Social Impact Investing: Investing in assisted living facilities allows investors to make a positive social impact by providing essential services and care for elderly individuals in need. Many investors are drawn to the social mission of supporting seniors' quality of life and well-being while generating financial returns.

Yesterday saw the publication of the ‘Our Future Homes’ report, developed by the Older People’s Housing Taskforce led by Julienne Elizabeth Meyer CBE and with the engagement of many of our sector peers (including WiRL supporter Sunena Stoneham) as well as residents, on behalf of MHCLG and DHSC. The report highlights the challenges and opportunities to housing, services and so much more for an ageing population and is a call to arms with a well considered and structured series of recommendations. https://lnkd.in/e9VSJuft Later Living is a people focussed sector. All housing is. However, within Later Living, as with care, it starts at the idea and goes all the way through into the operational stage and creates a legacy into the future. So, whether its to meet our colleagues or residents needs, wouldn’t it be great, as the sector grows, that we see a more diverse and equity driven workforce and consideration for the more overlooked and excluded members of the ageing population and the lack of choice in good quality housing? This is why @WiRL was formed, to ensure women and other under represented groups have a voice and opportunity to shape or be part of the sector after all our mission is the ‘Enabling the growth of the retirement living sector through inclusion and diversity’. We believe the scale and breadth of the housing options that the report proposes can only be achieved if the sector harnesses the best talent and most diverse ideas. We are hopeful that the report sets in motion change, using the recommendations and using the impetus and energy so prevalent in the sector to ensure more choice for people as to where and how they live as they age and opportunity within the workforce for diversity and equity. #laterlivingchoices

What is happening to senior living in 2024? 2024 Has brought tons of exciting innovations and a renewed focus on community, wellness, and mobility. Here’s a glimpse of what’s going on: 👉By late 2024, senior living facilities are expected to bounce back to pre-pandemic occupancy levels. 👉With baby boomers entering their 80s soon, the demand for senior living options is surging.  👉Advanced therapies, like temperature and compression treatments, are proving that tech can make aging easier and more enjoyable. 👉Mixed-use senior living developments are helping residents feel more connected to their neighborhoods—creating spaces where seniors and communities can thrive together. 👉More and more seniors are continuing to study through academic institutions and promoting lifelong learning.  👉The senior living industry is embracing green practices and wellness initiatives for better physical and mental well-being.  These advancements reflect a deep commitment to dignity, connection, and quality of life for our seniors.

As the senior population grows, senior living communities must modernize with tech features, energy-efficient systems, and flexible spaces. Upgrades include smart homes, wellness amenities, and improved air quality. Developers must collaborate to create adaptable, sustainable environments that meet the needs of aging adults. https://lnkd.in/gGwsCzaB #SeniorLiving #AgingInPlace #TechInSeniorCare #SmartHomes #Wellness #SeniorHousing #ActiveAging #LifePlanCommunities #EnergyEfficiency #SeniorCareInnovation #HealthyLiving #ElderCare #AgingPopulation #CommunityDevelopment #SeniorWellness

New Vertical Village Designed for Active Ageing in Australia Bolton Clarke, a prominent Australian provider of aged care services and retirement living, is known for its dedication to helping older Australians live well and age positively. Their latest development, Callisto Place in Bundoora, is a prime example of this commitment. This innovative vertical village integrates modern living with connected care, addressing the diverse needs of Melbourne’s senior community. Callisto Place features 90 contemporary apartments built to Liveable Housing Australia standards, ensuring that residents can comfortably age in place. The village is set within a master-planned precinct and is surrounded by 2000 square metres of parkland, providing convenient access to public transport, shopping, dining, and educational institutions like La Trobe and RMIT universities. This design supports ongoing learning and community engagement. Recognising that many seniors continue to lead active, independent lives—whether through work, social activities, or leisure—Bolton Clarke has tailored Callisto Place to accommodate these needs. The development includes a senior-specific gym with HUR equipment, a rooftop terrace, bars, restaurants, and a gold-class cinema. Residents benefit from digital independence technology, personalised concierge services, and plans for a co-located residential care home. The design of Callisto Place reflects insights from Bolton Clarke’s extensive research on ageing well. Their findings emphasise the importance of financial security, an active lifestyle, and strong relationships for older Australians. This research, combined with collaborative design efforts with QUT and other partners, has informed the development’s focus on supporting active ageing. Bolton Clarke’s Chief Development and Property Officer, James Mantis, notes that Callisto Place responds to evolving expectations around ageing. “People aged 65 and over are increasingly looking for purpose-built apartments that offer integrated services and support positive ageing,” he explains. “Callisto Place provides these options, ensuring residents can age in place while remaining connected to their community.” This approach highlights a broader trend in senior living, where integrated services, connected communities, and proactive health support are essential components of active and positive ageing.
