Bolton Clarke welcomes new Victorian villages
Bolton Clarke and RCA Villages have transferred ownership of four Victorian retirement living communities into Bolton Clarke Group.
The Martha Bay, Casey Grange, Martha Cove and Armstrong Green Villages include a total of 627 independent living units and related clubhouse facilities. RCA Villages will continue to own and operate its Point Cook village.
Bolton Clarke COO Retirement Living Brett Rice said the addition of the modern, contemporary villages on the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas to Bolton Clarke’s Europa on Alma and Callisto Place communities established a high-quality Victorian retirement village cluster supported by connected care options.
“All four villages are located in areas of high population growth and corresponding need and are complemented by our existing residential care homes and strong Home and Community Support networks in the area,” he said.
Andrew Philip, Managing Director of RCA Villages said: “We are delighted to have finalised this agreement because we rate Bolton Clarke very highly as one of the best village operators in the industry.”
Bolton Clarke’s Callisto Place retirement living apartments welcomed their first residents in July, with the contemporary vertical village earning international recognition as a finalist in the 2024 Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards.
The organisation now supports residents across 43 retirement villages and 88 residential homes nationally with home and community support services across Victoria, NSW, Queensland and Western Australia.
