Quick facts

About Lady Clark

Lady Clark has been providing retirement living since 1968. It runs one stand-alone retirement village in Tasmania. Because there is a single village rather than a network, the choice in front of you is simple: whether this one place suits the way you want to live, which a visit will help you judge. Residents live independently in their own renovated unit, with off-street parking. For many people, living independently in a smaller home with a place to park is exactly what they are looking for when they downsize, and it is worth picturing how an ordinary week would feel.

Residents have lifetime tenancy security, and Lady Clark maintains the village and unit accommodation. That includes general and emergency maintenance and 6.5 acres of common gardens and grounds. You get more time for friends, hobbies and the social life around you. Handing over the maintenance jobs is one of the main reasons people choose to move, so think about which tasks you would be glad to give up. It is also worth asking what the maintenance covers in practice, so that you understand where your responsibilities begin and end.

Lady Clark Centre Inc runs the village. It is a stand-alone registered charity with no parent group. Understanding how an operator is structured is a fair thing to ask about with any provider, and the charity register is a place you can look up further details yourself.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Lady Clark directly on 03 6249 2515 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you make contact, it helps to ask what the regular fee covers, how it is set and what, if anything, sits outside it, so that you can compare this village with others on the same basis. Asking for the details in writing is a good habit, because it lets you review them calmly at home and share them with family or an adviser before you commit.

Care & lifestyle services

Lady Clark gives you independent living in a home of your own, with a concierge service on hand at the village. You keep your own routine and your independence for as long as you choose to live there. That suits people who want a home of their own and the freedom to run their own day, with help nearby if they would like some company or practical assistance.

Lady Clark has no on-site aged care or serviced apartments. Independent living is what the village is built around. If your needs change, ask Lady Clark how support at home could be arranged. It is sensible to be clear about what help you might want now and what you might want later, so that you can ask direct questions and judge whether the answers suit you.

Residents share a community centre, a hall, a resident lounge and a library. There is also a community garden, a cinema and a courtyard and electric barbecues for relaxed afternoons with neighbours. Shared spaces like these are where many residents meet one another, so when you visit, look at how they are laid out and imagine whether you would use them. Make a list of the facilities that matter most to you and check the village against it.

What makes Lady Clark different

Lady Clark is a stand-alone registered charity that provides affordable retirement living for pensioners. One regular fee covers all village, building and property services, so you have no unplanned property bills. A predictable regular amount is easier to fit into a pension-based budget than costs that move around, though you should still confirm exactly what it includes. Rates, water and building insurance are part of what the village covers, and CCTV security watches over the grounds.

The village is also pet friendly, so your companion can be part of daily life. If you have a pet, or hope to, it is worth asking about any practical arrangements before you decide. As a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission since 2012, Lady Clark has a record you can look up yourself. A public record is a helpful starting point, and it is best read alongside what you see and hear when you visit in person.
