We specialise in comprehensive senior living design and construction including retirement villages with independent living units, memory care facilities, residential aged care refurbishments, new builds and integrated community expansions. Our expertise covers retirement apartments and villas, resident rooms and ensuites, community centres, dining areas, common spaces, outdoor areas and specialised facilities like dementia-friendly environments.
We have extensive experience working in both occupied retirement villages and operational aged care facilities where resident safety and comfort are paramount. Our approach includes careful staging strategies, infection control protocols, noise management during sensitive hours, dust control measures and clear communication with both village managers and care staff. We coordinate closely with facility management to ensure retirement living lifestyles and daily care routines continue uninterrupted while delivering quality construction outcomes.
Our team stays current with retirement living regulations, aged care design standards, accessibility requirements, infection control protocols and safety regulations for both sectors. We integrate compliance requirements into our design process from the beginning, ensuring projects meet retirement village legislation, ACFA (Aged Care Financing Authority) standards and building codes while anticipating future regulatory changes. Our sector expertise helps navigate the complex and distinct compliance landscapes specific to both retirement living and aged care environments.
Yes, we assist senior living providers with identifying and securing funding opportunities including government grants, infrastructure funds, retirement village financing and aged care-specific funding programs. Where eligible, our team prepares comprehensive feasibility studies, compliance documentation and financial projections that strengthen funding applications for both sectors, along with ROI projections to help ensure your projects are robust and sustainable. Our deep understanding of retirement living and aged care funding requirements helps position integrated projects for success.
We incorporate evidence-based dementia design principles across both aged care facilities and secure retirement living areas including clear wayfinding systems, familiar residential aesthetics, controlled lighting, acoustic comfort and secure outdoor access. Our designs feature memory boxes at room entrances, colour contrast for visual clarity, circular walking paths and sensory gardens. We draw on HammondCare principles and best-practice guidelines to create environments that support cognitive function and reduce anxiety, whether in dedicated memory care units or adapted retirement living spaces.
