Retirement Living 2022

Introduction

Thanks for logging on. This study considers questions about how and whether to change one's living circumstances as we get older.

In particular, the survey focuses on over-55s / Seniors' / Retirement Living options as potential accommodation choices i.e.,
- how people make those decisions
- motivations and barriers
- levels of understanding / confusion
- expectations and preferences

For the sake of simplicity, we will use the term Retirement Living as a catch-all for over-55s / Seniors / Independent / Assisted living accommodation options throughout the survey.

Feedback from the study will be used to inform retirement living providers on the priorities Australians have for accommodation types, lifestyle and support, as well as communication needs as we navigate this complex landscape.

COTA will also use the study results, lobbying government to improve regulations and access to independent advice in an environment many regard as confusing. 

The survey will take 12-15 minutes to complete. Most questions can be skipped if you feel they are difficult to answer or not relevant to you. Thanks for providing input to help shape the future of retirement living in Australia.
