Aveo Springfield Vista (Retirement Living)

Springfield Vista is the independent retirement living component within the Aveo Springfield community 1 5.

Accommodation: Offers spacious studio, 1, 2, and sometimes 3-bedroom apartments. These feature modern kitchens, private balconies, ample storage, and quality finishes 1 5. Building A, an early stage, consists of 66 one and two-bedroom apartments designed to meet the Silver Level of the Australian Liveable Housing Design Guidelines, catering to residents’ needs both now and in the future 3.
Lifestyle and Amenities: Residents have access to a range of facilities designed to promote an active and social lifestyle. These include a community centre, swimming pool, gym, library, community vegetable garden, games room, and an arts and crafts room 1 5. The ground floor of Building A also houses a communal lounge, hairdresser, specialist suite, and auditorium 3. The community emphasizes a neighbourly atmosphere with a highly social calendar and regular activities 1.
Support Services: While designed for independent living, residents at Springfield Vista have the flexibility to pay for additional services as needed, such as meals and housekeeping. Aveo Home Care services can also assist residents in obtaining a government home care package or arranging private care services if extra support is required 1 5.
Cost: Dwelling prices for retirement units in Springfield Vista have been listed with minimums around $252,000 and maximums up to $495,000 5.

Aveo Springfield Aged Care Facility

As part of the broader Aveo Springfield master plan, a dedicated residential aged care facility is also located on the site 3 4.

Development: The FKG Group was engaged by Aveo Group Limited to design and construct a new Aged Care Facility, which was completed in September 2018 4. This facility is part of Stage B of the master-planned community 4.
Capacity and Care Levels: The initial construction of the aged care facility included 38 independent living units and 48 assisted living units 4. The overall Aveo Springfield master plan aimed to include over 250 Residential Aged Care Beds (RAC) and offer a mix of Retirement Apartments, Assisted Living, and Aged Care facilities 3 4. This indicates the availability of higher levels of care for those who need more comprehensive support.
Focus: This part of the community is designed for individuals requiring more intensive daily care and nursing support than what is typically offered in independent retirement living.

Points for Consideration:
When researching Aveo Springfield for a loved one, it’s important to distinguish between Springfield Vista (independent retirement living with optional services) and the dedicated Aveo Springfield Aged Care Facility (for residential aged care needs).

Clarify the specific care needs of the individual to determine which part of the Aveo Springfield community is most appropriate.
Inquire about current availability, specific room features within the aged care facility, and the full range of care services offered there.
Obtain a detailed breakdown of all applicable fees for the relevant level of accommodation and care, as costs will differ significantly between independent retirement living units and residential aged care beds.
A tour of both the retirement village and the aged care facility may be beneficial to understand the environment and services offered in each.
