Frequently Asked Questions about Aged Care in Canberra and the ACT

In NSW, a nursing home (residential aged care facility) provides 24-hour support for older people who need daily assistance with health care, meals and personal care. A retirement village is different — it offers independent living in units or villas, with access to shared facilities, social activities and optional support services. Retirement villages are suited to people who can live largely on their own, while nursing homes are designed for residents who require continuous care and supervision.
