Retirement Living

When you sign your capital share or non-capital share contract with us, you will be given a rundown of all the costs associated with living in our Retirement Living Communities. You don’t need to provide any information about your pension status, income or other assets.

We strive to accommodate all our residents, regardless of their financial situation. If you are experiencing financial difficulties, we can work with you to try and find some accommodation on rental or offer a reduced fee. Those who meet the criteria must provide a Declaration of Income and Assets from Centrelink (contactable on 132 300) or DVA (contactable on 133 254).

Yes! We have a number of affordable lease-for-life rentals at our St David’s, Rowethorpe, Rosemount, and Chrystal Halliday Retirement Living Villages. They are subject to availability.

To be eligible for these rentals, you must be 55 years or over, not be working full-time, and have no more than $80,000 in assets.

Retirement living accommodates people over the age of 55 who are able to live independently in the community. It is also known as over 55 living. However, it is separate to residential aged care. This involves providing 24/7 support for older people with complex or high care needs.

We do provide this amenity at some of our villages. Depending on space and availability, there is some storage for a boat or caravan at our Juniper Rowethorpe Village.

There are also storage units available to rent for an additional cost at our Juniper RoseMount village.

Of course! Juniper offers in-home care services across home, clinical and social support. We do this through Government-funded Home Care Packages and the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).

Home Care is all about keeping you independent at home, enjoying what you love in life, connected to your community. Juniper Home Care can support you at home to keep doing, or get back to, those things in life you find meaningful.

Yes! You can check your eligibility for any government rebates by contacting Services Australia (formerly Centrelink) on 132 300.

Absolutely! We believe friendships are an important part of our residents’ social and mental wellbeing.

We just ask that you inform your village Retirement Living Coordinator of any short-stay guests. For longer stays of more than 14 consecutive days, you’ll need to get prior approval as well.

At our Juniper Rowethorpe campus in Bentley, we’ve even gone the extra step to make your family and friends feel more welcome. Here, there is the opportunity to book an affordable one-bedroom, self-contained holiday apartment.

There sure are! We believe staying connected to others on a social level is hugely important at Juniper.

There is a great sense of community across our Retirement Living Villages. Social committees are established at most locations. They welcome new members and provide ongoing social support, regular activities and events that you can choose to take part in.

Whether you’re into movies, music, arts, crafts or dancing, there’s plenty to keep you busy so you can continue to get the most out of retired life!

Yes! Many of our Juniper Retirement Living communities are conveniently located close to shopping centres, health clinics and medical centres. They are often just a short drive away.

At our Juniper Rowethorpe campus, residents can access an on-site pharmacy and a day therapy centre. This offers physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, nursing and group classes. All of these can be accessed through a Home Care Package or Commonwealth Home Support Programme.

Residents at our Juniper Chrystal Halliday Retirement Living community can also access our Juniper Day Therapy Centre. This includes community nursing, podiatry, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy.

Most of our Juniper Retirement Living communities are conveniently located with public transport routes right at the doorstep so you can continue to get out and about to do the things you enjoy! There are also dedicated taxi pick-up and drop-off points located in some of our villages, such as Juniper Rowethorpe.

While we love animals and understand that pets can be an important part your life, they are subject to approval of the Retirement Living Coordinator at each of our villages. This is out of respect for the comfort, hygiene and safety of all our residents.

When you move into your new home, Juniper provides insurance cover for anything related to the building and overall village site. This includes fixing any shared amenities or structural issues with your property.

However, residents need to organise their own contents and personal insurance.

We want to ensure all our residents feel safe within our Retirement Living communities. That is why we provide a wearable/mobile safety pendant for all our residents. This can be activated within village grounds in the event of an emergency.

In addition, each village property is fitted with a fixed safety alert unit that can also be activated during an emergency.

Upon activating either the mobile device or fixed safety alert unit, the corresponding security company is notified. If emergency services (police, fire or ambulance) are required, the security company will notify them on your behalf and share your location.

The service operates 24/7 and can only be activated within the village grounds.

You can stay as long as you want! Once you sign your lease-for-life contract or your capital or non-capital share agreement, you have the right to stay for as long as you want.

However, it’s always a good idea to read your agreement and disclosure documents, as well as seek any legal or financial advice, before making any big decisions.

We understand your circumstances can change and things can happen when you least expect.

If you are no longer able to live independently and are considering going into Residential Aged Care, Juniper has a range of Residential Aged Care homes. These are located around the Perth metropolitan area and in some regional locations. We will do our best to help you with this transition.

Keep in mind that we can’t guarantee your spot at one of our Residential Aged Care Homes, which are subject to availability. You must cover all fees and charges associated with going into Residential Aged Care too.

While our team are on hand to offer some guidance and support during this process, it is also your responsibility to check whether you meet aged care eligibility and assessment through My Aged Care.

We take our residents’ complaints seriously at Juniper and want to ensure everyone is heard. You can voice any concerns or complaints directly to your Retirement Living Coordinator, or you can raise them with your village committee. We take every complaint onboard and do our best to resolve it within a reasonable timeframe.
