Amana offers retirement village living with more than 60 years' experience and 15 communities across Western Australia. Find an Amana community near you below, or read on for costs, care details and what sets Amana apart. If you are thinking about downsizing, the sections below explain how the communities work and what to ask before you visit.

Quick facts

About Amana

The Anglican Church founded Amana in 1962, as Anglican Homes, and it became Amana Living in 2006. More than 7,710 older Western Australians use its services. Its 15 communities take different forms: some offer independent living only, while others sit alongside residential aged care on the same site. Because the communities differ, it pays to look closely at the one you are considering rather than assuming that what suits one will suit another.

Residents lease or rent their home, and Amana looks after home maintenance and gardening. That means no daily worries about upkeep and more time for what you enjoy. Shared amenities are there for socialising and keeping active, and what's on offer varies by community. When you visit, ask what is covered by the operator and what remains your responsibility, so there are no surprises later. Jotting down the answers as you go makes it far easier to compare several communities fairly afterwards.

The Retirement Living Code of Conduct seal appears on Amana's Treendale Village page. The Code is the retirement living industry's own voluntary code setting standards for how operators treat residents. Reading it before you visit gives you a useful reference point for the questions you ask on a tour. Amana is a not-for-profit with charitable status and no shareholders, so it has no external owner.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Amana directly on 1300 26 26 26 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you ring, ask for the figures in writing and check exactly what each charge covers, so that you can compare communities on the same terms. It is also worth asking what the arrangement means when you eventually leave, so that you and your family understand the whole picture from the start.

Care & lifestyle services

You live independently in your own home, and support can be added when you need it, from cleaning and laundry to personal care and meals. Amana is also a leading provider of the government home care program CHSP in Western Australia, covering care needs now and as they change. Being able to add help gradually means you can begin with what you need today and review it as your circumstances change.

Residential aged care is on site at some communities. It is worth asking at each community you are considering. If future care matters to you, raise it early, because knowing what is available where lets you plan with your family rather than react to a sudden change.

Residents enjoy shared spaces for socialising and keeping active, such as swimming pools, gyms and libraries. The mix varies by community, with each offering its own range of activities and services. When you tour, look at these spaces as well as the home itself, since they are where you are likely to spend time and meet the people around you. If you can, visit at different times of day to get a sense of how the community feels in an ordinary week.

What makes Amana different

Amana gives you breadth under one name. Alongside its retirement communities, it runs 13 nursing homes, two transition care facilities and six day clubs, plus one of Western Australia's largest home care services. Independent living, nursing care and home care all sit within one provider. For a downsizer, that range is worth thinking about, because needs can change over time and it helps to know what else the same organisation provides. Ask the community you are considering how those wider services connect with village life, so that you know how to reach them if you need to.

In a Curtin University survey of around 300 residents and family members about Amana's residential care centres, 93% were satisfied with Amana's services. Because that survey concerns the residential care centres, think of it as one piece of evidence about Amana's care rather than a verdict on every village, and ask residents at the community you like for their own view.
