| Annotation | The present study investigated and compared services available in different types of registered retirement villages in Queensland, Australia. A content analysis based on official websites of 175 registered villages in Queensland was presented. The study identified 82 services with activity organisation, emergency response, hairdressing and transportation being most frequently available to residents. The number of services available was associated with the village size and financial type, with residents living in large private villages having access to significantly more services. These research findings reveal the state of the art of current industry practice. They provide useful implications for stakeholders. For instance residents who prefer to get access to various services should focus more on large private villages. Developers can check their service delivery environment to confirm its balance with residents' competencies. The government can propose innovative initiatives to promote the delivery of appropriate services in villages. (JL). |
