Quick facts

About Levande

Levande was created in February 2022 and runs retirement villages in urban, regional and coastal settings. Its homes take different forms. Independent living units are common, apartments are available in selected communities, and some communities add serviced apartments. That variety means it is worth looking closely at the specific community you are considering, because the type of home and the setting can differ from one village to the next.

Homes are low maintenance, and Levande handles home repairs and garden upkeep. That leaves your time free for the things you enjoy. Amenities and activities vary by community, so you can look for the mix that suits you. When you visit, ask what a typical week looks like and which shared spaces residents actually use, so you can picture daily life rather than relying on a brochure.

Levande supports the Retirement Living Code of Conduct, the retirement living industry's voluntary code setting standards for how operators treat residents. EQT Infrastructure, a Sweden-based global investment firm, owns Levande. Knowing who owns an operator is a useful part of any decision of this size, because it tells you who stands behind the communities you are looking at.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Levande directly on 1800 727 170 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you speak to the team, ask about the contract options and what each one means for you, both when you move in and when you eventually leave. Asking for the details in writing makes it easier to compare Levande with other places you are considering, and to talk the figures through with family or an adviser before you decide.

Care & lifestyle services

You can stay independent in your own home for longer, with support added as your needs change. Care is available on your doorstep when you need it. That flexibility suits people who want to stay in their own home while knowing help is nearby. Some communities offer optional support services, and others have strong relationships with local healthcare providers.

Levande does not provide on-site aged care, and medical care is not delivered onsite. Serviced apartments sit near the centre of some villages and suit residents who need a bit of extra help day to day. They are available in selected communities only, so it is worth asking at each one. If you think you may want that extra help one day, find out whether the community you like has serviced apartments before you decide, because you cannot assume every village does.

Shared facilities and activities include bowls, croquet, swimming and tai chi. The mix varies by community, and cafés or dining spaces are found in selected communities. Check the listing for each village to see which activities and spaces are actually available there.

What makes Levande different

Levande has communities in urban, regional and coastal locations, so you can choose the setting that suits you. Whether you prefer an urban, regional or coastal setting, the range gives you room to match the location to the way you want to live. Support is technology-enabled and on demand, offered with partners and designed to evolve with your needs. In practice that means you can think about the support you want now and revisit it later, instead of needing to plan every detail in advance.

More than 10,000 residents already call Levande communities home, which gives you plenty of people to talk to about what living in a village is really like.
