Find the Right Retirement Village in Adelaide and South Australia, Without the Stress
Retirement Village Advisor is an independent retirement village advisor based in Adelaide, helping South Australians search for a retirement village for themselves or a parent. We do the research, on site inspections, and hard conversations so families do not have to. We are never paid by the villages we recommend.
Includes a complimentary 20 minute discovery call
"I do not have time to research retirement villages for Mum, and I do not know who to trust."
You are not alone. Most South Australian families feel overwhelmed, time poor, and unsure whether the advice they are getting is truly independent. That is exactly the problem our retirement village advisory service solves.
Let us take that research off your plate. Call 08 7092 2661 or book your free 20 minute discovery call. No obligation, no sales pitch.

Answers You Need
What happens on the discovery call?
Our complimentary 20 minute discovery call is a relaxed conversation to understand your situation, including location preferences, lifestyle, care needs and budget. There is no obligation and no sales pitch.
I am looking for a retirement village for myself, can you help?
Yes. While many of our clients are adult children helping a parent, we also support individuals over 55 looking for the right retirement village or over 55s lifestyle community in Adelaide or regional SA, tailored to your own needs and preferences.
What is the difference between a retirement village and aged care?
Retirement villages, sometimes called over 55s living, are independent lifestyle communities for active retirees. Aged care provides higher levels of personal and medical support. We help you understand which option, or combination, suits your situation, and can connect you with aged care advice through our referral partners.
How is this different from a free referral service?
Free referral services are typically paid commissions by the villages they recommend, which is a direct conflict of interest. Retirement Village Advisor accepts zero commissions or referral fees from any village, operator, or third party, ever.
What is included after the discovery call?
An on site meeting to sign an agency agreement and narrow down your preferred areas, inspections of three retirement villages with a written report, and a step by step introduction to our referral partners so everything is in place before your move.
Do you provide legal advice?
We explain contracts, fees and conditions in plain English, but for formal legal advice you will need your own solicitor or one from our trusted network of referral partners.
Do you cover all of Adelaide?
Yes, we cover Greater Adelaide and regional South Australia, with offices in Wynn Vale and the Adelaide CBD. We start the search in the areas that matter most to your family first.
