Retirement village waiting lists reach 27,000 Australians

Almost 27,000 Australians are currently waiting for places in retirement villages as demand outpaces supply across the country. Four in ten retirement villages now maintain waiting lists, with 70% of applications for homes under one million dollars. The sector has evolved significantly over the past decade, with 45% of retirement village operators now also providing home care services, and 73% of villages offering care and support services to meet increasingly complex needs as residents move in later in life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
