Quick facts

About Village Glen

Village Glen's communities sit in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula, with freeway access close by. You can choose a villa or a modern apartment, and you can stay connected to family and friends across the region without a long drive. For many people, staying close to the people and places they already know is one of the most important parts of choosing where to live, so it is worth thinking about how far each location is from the things that matter to you.

Village Glen takes care of all external maintenance, including painting, and looks after the common gardens, buildings and sporting areas. That leaves your time free for friends, hobbies and the social life around you. Amenities and activities vary by community. Visiting in person and asking what is on offer at the village you are considering is the best way to see what suits you.

Village Glen is family owned and operated. Chas Jacobsen founded it in 1980, and today the Jacobsen family continues to provide it. If who runs a village matters to you, ask Village Glen directly when you make contact, and keep any answers in writing so you can refer back to them later.

Costs & fees

Service fees vary depending on the type of residence. For a current price, call Village Glen directly on 03 5986 4455 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you call, it helps to have a short list of questions ready, and to ask for anything about fees and payments to be explained in plain terms. It is also a good idea to ask what is included and what is not, so that nothing about the arrangement comes as a surprise after you have decided. Comparing the answers against your own budget is the simplest way to judge whether a home is right for you.

Care & lifestyle services

You can stay in your own home and stay independent for longer, with support added as your needs change. Skilled nurses are onsite 24 hours a day for emergencies and keep set clinic hours for office visits, while Village Glen's own home support team delivers Government-funded home care packages, private services and short-term restorative care, including on site at the village and throughout the greater Mornington Peninsula region.

Residential aged care is available on site at some communities, owned and operated by Regis Aged Care. If higher levels of care matter to you, ask each community you are considering what it has on site, so you know what to expect before you decide. Thinking ahead about the support you might want in future is sensible for anyone choosing a new home, and it is far easier to do before you move than after.

Residents enjoy a gymnasium, swimming pool and spa, library and craft centre. A village hub with a general store, hairdresser and cinema keeps daily life close to home, and the mix of facilities varies by community. Shared spaces like these can make it easier to build connections with the people around you, and a visit will show you which village feels most like home.

What makes Village Glen different

Village Glen runs both your retirement living and your home support, so the help you add later comes from the same operator you already know. Sport is part of daily life, with a 9-hole golf course on site and free access to golf, lawn bowls, croquet and table tennis. Nurses are on hand around the clock, so help is never far away. For someone who values being active, having sport and support in the one place is worth weighing carefully against the other things you want from a village. Taking your time, asking questions and comparing more than one option will help you feel confident in whatever you decide.
