Australia’s Age of Ageing – 60 is the new 40
It’s no news that Australia’s population is ageing fast. More and more people:- live longer
- work well into their 70s and 80s
- have children in their second, third and fourth marriages.
Retirement ‘tribes’
Retirement has shifted from a “door closing” to a “door opening” stage of life. Even from the age of 50, people are starting to think about a new quality and quantity of lifestyle when they finally do retire – enjoyed around people they connect with.This has led to planning and development of ‘lifestyle living’ communities based around entire ‘tribes’ of people. It goes way beyond simple sea-change and tree-change moves.
A huge growth in ‘lifestyle living’ communities
We are now seeing:- affordable gated communities
- 24-hour concierge service and security.
- pools, tennis courts, coffee shops and outdoor barbecue areas
- silver service dining rooms
- putting and bowling greens
- beauty salons
- fully equipped gymnasiums
- organised activities
- high-speed cable Internet
- adjacent golf course
- function centre
- and much more.
Mega campuses heading to Australia
Then there are the mega campuses – yet to appear in Australia, where entire villages of self-care and low-care homes and home units, sit alongside medium-care and into high-care facilities and ultimately a Hospice.These huge developments will find their way into the Australian way of life within a decade. And they require large and sophisticated financing.
The changing face of aged care
Yesterday’s grim nursing home has given way to today’s modern, airy, high-quality and government compliance-standard legislated, low, medium and high care mature-age living facilities. These projects cater to a growing clientele that are spread across the socio-economic spectrum.Thousands of new seniors bed licenses
In February 2010, 2,224 new bed licences have just been released in NSW alone. This means between 20 and 30 new seniors housing developments will commence in the next 12 months, mainly in the greater Sydney area.Across Australia the number is 12,218 new bed licences.
The maximum funding provided by the Australian government towards community assistance with these developments is $150 million. That’ more than most international governments provide, but still way too little for a need that is way too great.
