Quick facts

About Living Better

Living Better is an independent living retirement village in Queensland. Its modern one-bedroom units each come with an ensuite. The community is independent living only, with no serviced apartments on site. For many people this is a straightforward arrangement: a home of your own in a setting designed around living independently.

You rent your home, and services are provided that lighten the load. These include a weekly linen service and security gates, leaving you less housekeeping and more time for family, friends and hobbies. Renting rather than buying is a different path from the one many retirement villages offer, so it is worth thinking about how it fits your own plans and finances before you go any further.

The business name Living Better at Wynnum is registered to the trustee for The New Lindum Joint Venture Trust. If the details of who is behind a village matter to you, ask the village directly when you make contact, and keep any answers you receive in writing so you can refer back to them later. A short list of questions, written down before you call, makes that conversation much easier to follow.

Costs & fees

Prices are not published on the listing. For a current price, call Living Better directly on 07 3893 2172 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you call, it helps to have a list of questions ready, and to ask for anything about rent and payments to be explained in plain terms. Comparing the answers you get against your own budget is the simplest way to judge whether a home is right for you. It is also a good idea to ask what the rent covers and how payments are made, so that nothing about the arrangement comes as a surprise after you have decided.

Care & lifestyle services

Living Better is built for independent living. You keep your own front door and your own routine, and all meals are supplied and cooked on site every day. With the cooking off your list, you can put your energy into staying active and independent for longer. Many people find that taking the daily meal routine out of their week frees up time and energy for the things they enjoy most.

Living Better has no on-site aged care or serviced apartments. Everything here is set up around living independently in your own home. If you already know you will want care on site, keep that in mind when comparing villages, and ask each one what it offers. 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 share a community dining and function room and a community laundry, and each home has its own private courtyard. The dining room gives you a place to meet neighbours over a meal, and your courtyard gives you outdoor space of your own. Shared spaces like these can make it easier to build connections with the people around you, while your private courtyard still leaves room for time on your own whenever you want it.

What makes Living Better different

Living Better makes retirement living affordable. Rent is low enough to manage on the pension alone, and there is no bond or deposit to find before you move in. You rent your home, so there is no home purchase to fund. There are no exit fees and no lock-in contracts, so you can leave when your plans change. For someone who wants flexibility, those terms are worth reading closely, and worth comparing with the terms offered by other villages you are considering.

An affordable rental village will suit some people better than others. If a low, regular rent and no upfront deposit are what you are looking for, Living Better is worth a closer look, and a call or an enquiry is a sensible way to find out whether it is the right fit. Taking your time, asking questions and comparing more than one option will help you feel confident in whatever you decide.
