Glenvale Villas Aged Care

Glenvale Villas is a 'supported living' aged care community at 182–184 Hursley Road, Glenvale, in Toowoomba, QLD, where residents buy and own their self-contained one- or two-bedroom home on the title deed rather than paying a traditional nursing-home bond. It positions itself as an alternative to nursing homes, blending the independence of a retirement village with flexible, user-pays care that scales from low care to high care as needs change, including continued care for dementia and high-care residents who do not have to move out. The village is pet friendly, set among award-winning gardens, and offers two leisure and community centres with restaurants, lounges, a hairdressing salon, library and movie lounge. A registered nurse is on site Monday to Friday 9am–5pm with registered nurses on call 24/7, plus a 24/7 nurse-call system and lifetime monitoring pendants. Established in 2007, it markets homes from around $220,000 and is run as a Supported Living Community project-managed by FutureCare.
