Picture this. A vibrant village, friendly neighbours, spectacular water views, all the comforts (and then some!) plus on-site care you can count on, seven days a week.  

Woolooware Shores is a wonderful place to call home. You’ll love living here so much that you’ll want to stay for as long as possible, says Liza Fox, Woolooware Shores’ Village General Manager. 

“We have an exciting new vision for what seniors living can look like,” she says. “It revolves around providing on-site care and wellbeing services, so you know you’ll always have that extra bit of help you need to continue living independently.” 

Instead of paying a traditional departure fee (also known as a ‘deferred management fee’), new residents of Woolooware Shores can now become Village Members through an upfront Village Membership fee.  

This exclusive membership allows us to provide you with a suite of benefits, including access to home care services at discounted rates, food and beverage discounts at the village cafe, help with technology, a concierge service, and exceptional nursing care — seven days a week.  

Best of all, your membership grants you access to consistent, around-the-clock on-site care from a dedicated team.

Members of this team are highly trained to connect you with any care or support you might need, whether this is funded by a government home care package or privately. 

It’s about allowing you to maintain the life you know and love for as long as possible with the added peace of mind of having round-the-clock help on hand, if ever and whenever you need it. 

“We are the only retirement village in the whole of the Sutherland Shire to offer this level of on-site care to residents,” says Liza. 

Current Woolooware Shores resident Ron Bradley says the convenience that discounted services like this can give you is worth the investment.  

“I sit in my unit, watching a man mow the lawn,” he says. “A man knocks on my door and comes in and he changes the light globes. He fixes the tap, we get a new oven, and so on, without me having organise it or anything like that. That is a big plus.” 

Nestled on the picturesque shoreline of Woolooware Bay, this wonderful community is the first of Anglicare’s retirement villages to begin offering a Village Membership, and the first to staff a 24-hour on-site care team for residents. 

“What that translates to is care workers who are employed directly by Woolooware Shores,” explains Liza. “People who you know and trust and who can help tailor your care and wellbeing plans to suit your needs as they shift and change over the years.” 

“That means you can be confident putting down roots and building a life you love when you move to Woolooware Shores. Because this team is here to work alongside you to keep living that life – right where you are – for as long as you possibly can.” 

The Australian government calls it ‘ageing in place’.  

And considering the growing number of seniors in our nation, along with the limited number of spaces in residential aged care, it’s vital that retirement communities like Woolooware Shores are equipped now, to provide higher levels of care for residents in future.  

But for the passionate team at Woolooware Shores, this new vision for seniors’ living is also about so much more. It is a part of Anglicare’s commitment to care – to see lives enriched and communities strengthened. 

You deserve so much more than a roof over your head. You deserve a community where you can build relationships, continue to flourish, create lasting memories, and enjoy every precious moment. For life.
