The inspiration for Justin Harrison and his father Michael to establish The Village Retirement Group, now an acclaimed industry leader, stemmed from their quest for suitable retirement accommodations for Justin’s grandmother. Their initial frustration with the limited options available led to a resolute commitment to create communities that empower retirees to savour life to the fullest.
Setting a New Standard: Five-Star Living for Active Retirees
These communities are far from traditional aged care facilities. Instead, they cater to active and financially secure retirees who seek to relish life beyond the hustle and bustle of the working world. Distinguished by their architectural excellence, these villages have garnered national recognition, including the prestigious Best Seniors Living Award and the UDIA President’s Award in 2015 from the Urban Development Institute of Australia.
Visitors to The Village Retirement Group’s villages in Yeronga, Toowoomba, Coorparoo, and Redcliffe are often pleasantly surprised by what they encounter. Justin Harrison emphasises, “The fundamental principle behind our retirement village designs is to ensure they never resemble conventional retirement communities. When individuals step through the entrance of one of our villages, they are met with an entirely unexpected experience, from the design and architecture to the outstanding facilities.”
In essence, The Village Retirement Group’s philosophy is centred on providing its residents with nothing less than a five-star living experience.
