Quick facts

About SwanCare

SwanCare began as residential cottages for war widows. Today it runs retirement villages in Perth's southern suburbs and the South West, with homes in a variety of sizes so you can choose the space that suits you. Having a range of home sizes matters when you are downsizing, because the right amount of space depends on how you live, who visits and how much you want to maintain. When you tour, it is worth walking through more than one type of home to get a feel for the differences.

SwanCare handles resident maintenance requests. Urgent ones go by phone to reception during office hours or to security after hours. Most low priority requests are aimed to be answered within 3 to 5 business days. Amenities and activities vary by community. Knowing how requests are handled is a practical question to raise with any operator, so ask how you would report a problem and how you would be told about progress once you have moved in.

SwanCare Group Inc owns and runs SwanCare. It is a not-for-profit and registered charity. When you compare providers, who owns and runs the operator is a sensible point to weigh, since it tells you who stands behind the community you are considering.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call SwanCare directly on 08 6250 0000 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. Because prices and contract terms are best confirmed at the source, ask for the details in writing and compare them with those of any other village on your shortlist. It also helps to ask what you pay when you move in, what you pay while you live there and what applies when you leave, so you can judge the full cost rather than only the headline figure.

Care & lifestyle services

SwanCare helps you stay independent in your own home for longer, with home care you can add as your needs change. SwanCare delivers home care services south of Perth, either through government-funded support based on your aged care assessment or through a fee-for-service option. Having both routes available gives you a choice, and it is worth asking which one would apply to your situation and how the process of arranging it works.

SwanCare also offers residential aged care for when the need arises. Its four residential aged care centres are at SwanCare Bentley Park, so it is worth asking about care at each community you shortlist. If you are planning ahead, think about how close you would like care to be and how you would want to arrange it if your needs changed.

Residents enjoy heated swimming pools, gyms, libraries and lounges, all places to meet neighbours and fill the week. The mix of facilities varies by community. When you visit, think about which of these you would use every week and which you might only use now and then, because that is a good way to judge whether the lifestyle really suits you.

What makes SwanCare different

SwanCare gives you a choice of settings, from Perth's southern suburbs to the South West, and a choice of home styles, from suburban-style homes and compact apartments to villas. SwanCare also publishes its residential aged care and home care fees, so you can see what care costs before you enquire. Being able to read the figures before you commit makes it easier to compare SwanCare with other providers on equal terms.

SwanCare has cared for West Australian seniors since 1961. Together, the choice of settings, the range of home styles and the published care fees give you plenty to compare. A good way to start is to list what matters most to you, such as location, home size and how you would arrange care later, and then check each community against that list.
