For over 100 years the Woy Woy Peninsula has been one of the most popular retirement areas in New South Wales, though for most of that time there were no specifically built facilities to care for senior residents.
In 1975 a group was formed as a select committee of the Umina Beach Combined Pensioners Association to investigate the establishment of an Aged Care Centre on the Peninsula, with a particular focus on providing a nursing home.
Then, as now, the intention was to provide a facility that would belong to the people of the Woy Woy Peninsula; to provide quality, affordable accommodation with priority entry to local residents; and to ensure that staff, management and Board all have an absolute focus on care.
Peninsula Village Retirement Centre reflects the achievements and hard work of a large number of volunteers over the years, who, without any bricks and mortar government funding, have built the facility it is today.
As a community owned venture, we care about each person, and aim to offer high standards of individual care and support for each resident's well-being.
Surrounded by waterways, and national parks, the area has much to offer in the way of natural attractions, and it is well serviced by public transport, health services, recreational facilities, restaurants, café's, clubs and shopping centres.
This all adds up to the perfect location for a retirement village offering a tranquil, scenic environment, yet convenient for modern life.
Peninsula Village is just a few minutes walk to the local Umina shopping centres, a short distance to Woy Woy and Gosford in our resident-only buses, and an easy one hour drive to Sydney and Newcastle.
Community built and owned, charitable and not for profit, Peninsula Village's prime objective is to provide high quality, affordable retirement living.
Accommodation at Peninsula Village, which includes Cooinda Village, ranges from one and two bedroom independent living units, assisted care hostel units, a dementia specific unit, and a nursing home complete with extended/palliative care area. |
