When choice, certainty & care matters
Soon, 5 million Australians will be over 65 and many will be living in retirement communities. We understand how important it is to have the flexibility to choose an option that is right for your retirement.
Since our beginnings in 1995, we have grown to where we are today with 93 retirement and aged care communities across Australia. We have listened to our 13,000 residents and are now introducing more choice.
Our new retirement contract options give you flexibility to enjoy the journey ahead with peace of mind for your future. Our unique new Certainty contract offers the ultimate peace of mind and flexibility to move between locations or to higher care.
Retire with choice and certainty, only at Aveo.
