Who can join

Who Can Join Ananda Living

A resident-first Active Ageing community for adults who want independence, dignity, connection, and purpose — not an old-age home, care institution, or restrictive retirement facility.

Perhaps you are not looking for a place to be placed — but for a community where your experience still counts, your curiosity still has room, and your independence is protected. This page is an invitation to recognise yourself in the life we are building toward, not a checklist to pass.

Welcome

A Community For The Next Chapter

Ananda Living is designed for adults who see ageing as a continuation of life — a time to remain connected, active, curious, and engaged.

Our community welcomes people who want the benefits of shared living while maintaining independence, personal choices, and individuality.

Recognition often begins with how you want to live — age is only one part of that picture.

Age

Age Is One Part of the Journey

Ananda Living welcomes residents aged 55 and above who are looking for an active, connected, and purposeful community lifestyle.

Age is one part of belonging — lifestyle, aspiration, and a desire for independence and connection matter too.

Shared journeys

Couples & Companions

Life journeys are often shared.

Couples are welcome at Ananda Living.

  • At least one member of the couple should be 55 years or above.
  • A spouse below 55 may live with their partner.

Shared community life and personal independence are not opposites here.

Everyday living

Independence & Support

Ananda Living is designed primarily for independent adults who wish to manage their daily lives while being part of a supportive community.

Residents should be able to:

  • Make personal choices
  • Participate in community life
  • Manage everyday activities

Dignity belongs to everyone — including those who need additional support to live well.

Dignity for all

Living With Additional Needs

Everyone deserves dignity, belonging, and respect.

Residents who require ongoing personal assistance or support should have appropriate arrangements to ensure their wellbeing and safety.

For residents requiring assistance due to disability or other personal needs, an appropriate attendant arrangement may be required.

Community roles

Resident, Family & Team Roles

  • Residents

    Community members who participate in Ananda Living life and contribute to the community.

  • Families

    Important partners who remain connected and involved in the resident journey.

  • Team Members

    Resident managers, employees, and service team members support community operations but are not community residents. Team members living on campus as part of their role are not considered residents of the community.

Comfortable with technology? It is optional.

Ananda Living proposes Himalaya, a digital resident experience for everyday support and connection. Residents can use it directly, or receive assisted access through community staff or approved family members. No resident is excluded for being less confident with technology.
