What are serviced apartments?

Serviced apartments within a retirement village are ideally suited to older individuals who are mobile, and able to live independently and who would enjoy some additional support to make daily life easier.

Typically located within the village community centre, serviced apartments foster a relaxed atmosphere where residents can enjoy social interactions, participate in various activities, and receive assistance when needed. The serviced apartments at Latrobe Retirement Village in Reservoir offer an array of benefits that enhance the quality of life of residents.

Live Independently with Extra Support

Serviced apartments are designed to provide the best of both worlds: the independence of having your own space with the convenience of additional services.

Key benefits include:

 Access to visiting health professionals and allied health services for medical and

wellness needs.

 A wide range of social activities tailored to different interests and abilities.

 A supportive living environment that is not aged care but provides an extra

helping hand when needed.

Fresh Daily Meals

Nutrition and dining experiences are essential for overall well-being, and serviced apartments ensure that residents have access to delicious and nutritious meals. At Latrobe Retirement Village, every meal is freshly prepared by professionals, ensuring a high standard of quality and taste. Residents can enjoy their meals in the communal dining area, fostering social interactions and friendships. For those who prefer privacy, meals can be delivered to the room.

A Variety of Social Activities

Staying active and socially engaged is an important aspect of a fulfilling lifestyle, and serviced apartments provide numerous opportunities for recreation and leisure. Residents are free to join in morning teas, live music performances, and various forms of entertainment. The village offers a wide range of hobby and craft groups, board games, and movies. Additional facilities include a bowling green, swimming pool, and regular outings such as shopping trips and excursions on the village bus.

Safety and Security for Peace of Mind

Ensuring the safety and well-being of residents is a top priority in serviced apartments. Emergency call buttons are installed in every unit, providing immediate access to assistance if needed.

Be Freed up from Cleaning and Laundry

One of the biggest advantages of serviced apartment living is the reduction in household chores, allowing residents to enjoy more leisure time. Weekly cleaning services ensure a well-maintained and comfortable living space. Bed linen and towels are also laundered regularly, taking the hassle out of laundry tasks.

Very Affordable Pricing

Serviced apartments at Centennial Living’s Latrobe Retirement Village and Bundoora Village offer an affordable and value-packed option for senior living. At Latrobe Retirement Village, serviced apartments have an entry price ranging from $160,000 to $230,000. A monthly service fee applies, covering the cost of meals, cleaning, and other essential services.
