Meath Care (Inc) offers a range of retirement village options from three desirable locations positioned in the quiet and established Perth suburbs of Trigg, Como and Kingsley. Our attractive retirement villages offer a secure environment with onsite facilities catering to the needs of retirees. To allow each resident to feel comfortable in their home, we provide access to 24 hour emergency call facilities as well as the convenience of having property management and maintenance issues taken care of by someone else. Beautifully manicured gardens and facilities can be enjoyed all year around by both residents and visitors. Each villa has been specifically designed with retirement living in mind with quality fittings and fixtures used throughout. Our villages promote a community lifestyle through facilities such as communal clubhouses, swimming pools and bowling greens. These features allow the resident a sense of wellbeing and interaction, while socializing with fellow retirees at functions, gatherings and special events.
