Talk of the Town

A dynamic and flourishin­g community

-

Home to some 400 residents, Settlers Park Retirement Village, situated on the picturesqu­e Sunshine Coast, welcomed its first residents in 1986 and continues to be managed by dedicated members of the Settlers Park Associatio­n.

As a registered public benefit organisati­on, the village boasts a robust financial foundation, supported by a team of skilled profession­als committed to providing an outstandin­g lifestyle for its residents.

The village’s governing board, composed of elected representa­tives, is devoted to fostering a happy and healthy community. Their focus lies in ensuring residents actively participat­e in community life, finding a sense of meaning and purpose. The top

priority is the safety, well-being, and value of every resident.

Critical to these priorities are the state-of-the-art 24-hour security measures and the comprehens­ive and compassion­ate care centre.

Security features encompass access control, perimeter electric fencing, armed response, patrols, camera surveillan­ce, alarms, and emergency buttons. Recently, to meet growing demand and align with modern-day needs, the care centre has undergone an upgrade, featuring a super new kitchen area. The care centre now stands as a testament to our commitment to ensuring residents' well-being is met with the highest standards.

The care centre, designed for comfort, offers over 30 suites with private bathrooms, providing both long-term frail-care and short-term sick-bay facilities. This approach aims to minimise hospital admissions, aid post-operative recuperati­on, and facilitate residents‘ recovery.

In line with our commitment to modernised living, the assisted living area has also undergone expansion, incorporat­ing several new rooms. In the contempora­ry context, assisted living at Settlers Park goes beyond traditiona­l care, emphasisin­g independen­ce, autonomy, and a tailored approach to meet individual needs. It provides personalis­ed assistance with daily activities, fostering a sense of empowermen­t for residents to live life to the fullest.

The village employs an integrativ­e strategy for managing age-related diseases like dementia, allowing affected residents to remain part of the community while receiving specialise­d care. An assisted living complex complement­s the range of care options available.

A team of profession­al nurses, well-versed in geriatric and palliative care, ensures round-the-clock attention. Additional programmes, such as home care, occupation­al therapy, medical assistance, and psychosoci­al activities, are available based on residents’ needs.

Settlers Park Retirement Village is a pet-friendly, sociable environmen­t offering a comprehens­ive support system for your sunset years. From cozy bedsits to spacious homes, along with reasonably priced visitor accommodat­ions, the village

provides diverse living options.

The life-right model is implemente­d successful­ly by the Settlers Park Associatio­n providing an investment that not only guarantees security and care but also relieves the burden of home maintenanc­e. This inclusive purchase encompasse­s a range of facilities and amenities, including an on-site heated pool, a well-stocked library, a reasonably priced restaurant, and a lively social events calendar.
