RSL LifeCare unveils Nowra retirement village expansion

RSL LifeCare has announced the Stage 2 release of its Dumaresq Retirement Village at Nowra, with the aim of bringing an array of new offerings and services to create a community that caters to all retirement needs.

Situated on the South Coast of NSW, Dumaresq Retirement Village at RSL LifeCare Nowra Community features villas designed with comfort in mind, with spacious living spaces, ensuite bathrooms and easy-access parking.

The village features a restored heritage clubhouse building, “RSL LifeCare Nowra House”, serving as a purpose-built community facility that fosters connection and recreation. Residents and their guests can enjoy the main dining room, lounge area, common kitchen and dining room area, two spacious verandas and onsite Village Manager office.

With RSL LifeCare at Home services available, the purpose-built RSL LifeCare Nowra Veteran Wellbeing Centre and the Jonathan Rogers GC House residential aged care home onsite, comprehensive health and wellbeing support is readily accessible.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom villas are designed to maximise the beauty of the surrounding gardens and bushland. Features such as L-shaped kitchens, private front entrances and spacious balconies contribute to the practicality and comfort of these weatherboard homes, which are also pet-friendly. Importantly, they also offer security, including a nurse call system for peace of mind.

In addition to the amenities and living spaces, the village offers a range of tailored services through RSL LifeCare at Home, including domestic assistance, transportation, flexible respite and personal care.

RSL LifeCare CEO Janet Muir said with the integration of the Nowra Veteran Wellbeing Centre, home care services and the Jonathan Rogers GC House aged care home, RSL LifeCare Nowra Community redefines the concept of comprehensive care and support within a vibrant community.

The RSL LifeCare Nowra Veteran Wellbeing Centre (NVWC) is a veteran-centric community facility that offers important services for veterans and their families. Together with charity partner RSL NSW, RSL LifeCare offers everything from financial assistance and referrals to legal aid to counselling; the NVWC provides comprehensive practical and emotional support to veterans, improving their wellbeing and overall quality of life.

Dumaresq Retirement Village acknowledges that circumstances may change over time, and Jonathan Rogers GC House, a 68-bed aged care home located within the Nowra Community, can enable a seamless transition to residential aged care should the need arise, while maintaining a strong connection to the community and the home residents have come to cherish.
