Mercy Health retirement living fosters independence and caters to your evolving care needs. Whether you choose an independent living unit, apartment or villa, you are joining a vibrant community of like-minded and active friends, with the comfort and assurance that high-quality nursing care is within easy reach whenever you need it. With retirement villages in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, there’s a destination to suit every lifestyle — whether you’re seeking a sea change or a tree change. From inner-city Mercy Place Apartments in Parkville on the northern fringe of Melbourne, to the warm tropical glow of Mercy Health Coral Sea Gardens, in Cairns, you’re sure to find a village you love. Every village has a unique personality, but it’s really the personalities within each community that make for a truly vibrant atmosphere. Social life is a significant part of retirement living, with calendars full to the brim with activities and a wide variety of facilities to promote an active lifestyle. Mercy Health retirement living offers a balance of community and care. All villages are co-located with Mercy Health Residential Aged Care homes and our villages are equipped to nurture your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. As a resident of a Mercy Health retirement community, you also enjoy priority access to residential aged care if you require additional support in the future. Every Mercy Health retirement village is built around our Christian beliefs that human life is sacred and must be respected, and that relationships are critical to our wellbeing. Everything we do is underpinned by our wider organisational values, established under the leadership of the Sisters of Mercy: Compassion, Hospitality, Respect, Innovation, Stewardship, and Teamwork.
