Accredited Villages
"Is this village accredited?" That is the question residents ask when looking for a retirement village. It's the industry stamp of quality.
To choose a village you can be confident of we advise you to select an RVA accredited village.
Why is this so important?
The benefit of knowing that a village is accredited centres on providing prospective and existing residents the peace of mind that their village is being managed and operated professionally and ethically at all times.
The RVA administers a quality assurance Accreditation Program across Australia whereby villages must meet specific criteria against 27 rigorous standards to ensure they are committed to exceeding resident expectations with their commitment to quality and the highest standards of village practice.
What this means is that the more open and transparent a retirement village is, the greater their mark of quality. Residents deserve nothing less.
Accreditation is also equally important for residents because it ensures village processes and procedures are effective, the village is a safe and harmonious environment and continually strives to improve its service delivery to residents and it guarantees that village staff is trained, professional and ethical in their care to residents.
The decision to downsize and move into a retirement village is a significant financial and lifestyle investment. Therefore residents want to be confident that their next home is comfortable, safe and well-maintained and managed.
A village that is accredited makes it an easier decision for prospective residents.
