If you're reading this, you're at a point somewhere along a one to three year journey of conflicting thoughts and emotions. At the end, you'll decide whether you're ready to move into a retirement community.
- Sometimes a trigger event can speed up the need for a decision to be made.
- Maybe your home is getting too big to manage.
- Maybe you or your partner are experiencing health complications.
- Perhaps you're finding the burden of home responsibility overwhelming.
- Or it could be you need a safe environment with access to emergency care.
Whatever your reason, the obstacle that often gets in the way is fear. Fear of moving away from family, fear of lost independence, fear of losing touch with who you are and simply becoming another 'number'.
Studies back up the emotional investment that goes into the decision to make the move to village life. However, we know that the vast majority (89%) take less than three years considering it. What’s more, more than half of residents (51%) spent less than a year. And when you consider that many of our residents wish they had made the move sooner, it’s clear that arming yourself with the right knowledge is key.

We know where you're coming from
When it comes to moving on in life, it’s important to surround yourself with people that understand you. At Ocean Gardens, we really care about the individuals who choose to live with us.
We know half of our residents come from the western suburbs, metro suburbs and beyond - even interstate or overseas. More than that, we understand where you’ve come from emotionally and how you want to experience your next life stage.

50% come from within 10kms of Ocean Gardens
74% come from within 15kms of Ocean Gardens
84% of Perth metropolitan residents come from the western and northern suburbs.
As you can see, many of us have lived or grew up in the area. Which makes sense really - with friendship and family networks already in place, the transition to Ocean Gardens can be quite natural.
