I was very surprised to be welcomed warmly by Staff who remembered me as I was doing a recent tour of Illawong. My partner was a Resident here a few years ago and I visited often. They even remembered my dog's name! The Facility looks lovely with it's new furniture.
Joy
Resident, Bethanie Illawong
Betty appreciated the warmth of the staff, the beautiful surroundings, and the sense of community she had been missing in recent years. Moving seamlessly into permanent care, the staff were prompt and thorough in responding to emails and phone calls, providing all the necessary information and guidance.

Bethanie is a genuinely caring and welcoming environment where staff show remarkable compassion, attentiveness and warmth. From delicious meals and engaging activities to the supportive presence of chaplaincy and friendly conversations throughout the day, it’s a place where I felt truly valued and uplifted.

Retirement Living frequently asked questions
At Bethanie, we have retirement villages from Yanchep to Bunbury. Our villages provide accommodation, lifestyle amenities and services to people over the age of 55 who can live independently. Our lifestyle retirement villages will allow you to be as active, social or quiet as you like. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your new community of neighbours and friends are likeminded, and you are in a supported community.
Retirement Living and Aged Care both provide accommodation services to ageing people, but their services differ depending on their residents' care needs and stage of life.
A retirement village offers accommodation, lifestyle amenities and services to over 55’s looking for independent living options when downsizing or retiring. Residents of retirement living communities benefit from engaging environments that suit their changing needs.
Aged Care homes provide a safe and secure place for people who require 24-hour support. A team of nurses, care workers, therapists and other health professionals provide high-quality care. You may be eligible for Aged Care funding to access these services. To determine what level of funding you are eligible for, you will need to complete an assessment through the Government’s Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
Retirement Living allows you to downsize whilst living safely, independently and in the company of like-minded people. People who not only share similar interests but who will expose you to new experiences and opportunities. You can free yourself from daily chores like home and garden maintenance and take advantage of your newly discovered freedom. Embrace your inner social butterfly, rock the ‘lock and leave” lifestyle or get lost in a good book. It’s up to you. You can be as active, social or quiet as you like. Whatever lifestyle you choose, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your new community of neighbours and friends are looking out for you.
If you’re still uncertain, you can get in touch with our friendly team who will help with any concerns you have.
When choosing a retirement village, it is important to think about your ideal retirement lifestyle. Consider not only how it looks now but also how you want to live in it in the future. Take your time. You’re more likely to choose the right retirement village if you make an informed and considered decision. Once you have an idea of your needs and wants, you can start researching to find lifestyle retirement villages near you that suit your requirements.

Understanding Retirement Living costs
What is a recurrent charge?
Each residence contributes a proportion of its money to the village operating budget, paid fortnightly, known as the weekly village levy or recurrent charge. These charges go towards the running of the village on an ongoing basis and include Grounds Maintenance, Equipment/Building Maintenance, Energy Costs, Building Insurance, Rates/Taxes/Fees, Security/Monitoring and village staff.
How do I purchase a retirement home for lease?
Our retirement homes for lease are available to purchase through Lease for Life arrangements. This lease gives you the right to occupy your retirement home and use the facilities until you decide to leave. There are also small additional fees and an exit payment fee when you vacate the village. We can talk you through the process of purchasing a home in one of our villages with our friendly sales team.
What is a Deferred Management Fee or DMF?
The DMF is a traditional contract model for buying into a Lease for Life Village. It is a percentage of costs paid back to the Village Owner at the time of vacation of your unit. The DMF allows the Village Owner to reinvest back into the community and other Projects.
What is a Lease for Life Agreement?
Leases are widely used by Retirement Village operators in Western Australia. Under the Lease, Residents are granted a lease for life (60 years) for the exclusive right to occupy their home. They are also granted the right to use the common areas and community facilities on a shared basis with other residents.
