Life is to be enjoyed! Archer Group offers an extensive range of social options, special events, day trips and even a Villages annual ‘family holiday’.

The Christian faith is one of Archer Groups defining characteristics. We acknowledge we are all at different stages of our spiritual journey and welcome and respect people for wherever they are at on this journey. Our Chaplaincy services are offered across our sites to everyone, as well as the services and special events like Easter, ANZAC and Carols they organise.

Archer Group offers a continuum of living options from independent-living, to wellness clinics, to short-term convalescing care such as respite and then fulltime residential care.  Our Home care includes rest home, hospital and dementia care services.

The ‘Care-Partnership’ model approach to residential care is internationally researched focusing on a resident-centred support model for care. We aim to create a home not a hospital setting for Care services.
