Programme Focus

Developing & operating inspirational communities for over 55s – How Australian retirement villages & aged care homes can sustainably apply the Apartments for Life concept

A follow-up to the highly successful Ageing Asia Leadership Workshop led by Professor Dr Hans Becker in 2011, the 2nd Ageing Asia Leadership Workshop (Australia) is a full-day programme and optional study tour that will be held across three states in Australia that will focus on the impact of Australia’s latest aged care reform on successful planning, operational and legislative opportunities for the ‘Apartments for Life’ concept in Australia.

Led by Nick Abbey, CEO of ExtraCare Charitable Trust (UK), this seniors’ care practitioner industry workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to learn about why ExtraCare’s highly successful independent living seniors’ housing projects (Apartments for Life) continue to deliver high occupancy, demand for new units, residents’ happiness, staff and volunteers retention, attract donors and most of all, an extremely healthy balance sheet for a seniors’ housing development.

ExtraCare is UK’s leading developer in affordable retirement villages and has been successfully implementing the ‘Apartments for Life’ model since 1988. Today they run 3,317 homes catering to up to 5,000 older people across their wider communities.

What you will learn

• Understand the implications of the 2012 Australian Aged Care reform and why the ‘Apartments for Life’ concept presents an attractive on-going revenue and operational model

• Creating a commercially sustainable alternative to traditional retirement villages and residential aged care

• The financial and operational models behind developing an ‘Apartments for Life’ model and affordable housing

• Strategies in being a financially sustainable not-for-profit organisation: what for-profits can adopt

• Improving quality of life, health, independence and resident happiness

• Activities and programmes that support the bottom line for ‘Apartments for Life’

• Relate concepts from Professor Dr Hans Becker’s ‘Art of human happiness’ to real-life case-studies based on ExtraCare’s independent retirement communities
