Adelene Village opened in 1979. It was the vision of the late Gordon Leech MBE, who named it after his wife, the late Esma Adelene Leech.

Adelene is a smaller sized village, located in a leafy part of Wyoming next to Rumbalara Reserve, and comprises 89 villas and 16 apartments.

Adelene is regulated by the Retirement Villages Act 1999, Retirement Villages Regulation 2017 in NSW. NSW Fair Trading is the regulatory body that administers the regulations for Retirement Villages. Their website will provide useful information: www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au or telephone 133 220.

We encourage our prospective Independent Living residents to understand the types of tenure offered by Retirement Villages.

At Adelene we enter a loan arrangement, where you pay an ingoing contribution in return for the right to occupy the premises. This arrangement allows you to live in the unit, but you do not own it or have a registered interest in it.

Loan arrangements are mainly offered by non-profit organisations or charity village operators.

You will pay a departure fee when you leave this village. For full terms and conditions please speak to our friendly staff.

Of course they can. Your home at Adelene is no different than your current family home and we welcome visitors. However, there are rules and regulations which must be upheld.

No, council and water rates are paid by the operator from your monthly recurrent charge.

When you permanently leave the village, we will sell your home for you. You are not required to pay any costs involved in selling your unit. Regulation around leaving the Village apply.

Ongoing fees are also known as recurrent charges for general services and are paid on a monthly basis. Repairs of the operator owned fixtures and fittings in your home are covered by the recurrent charge and our maintenance team will arrange repairs for you. These fees also cover village facilities, like village management, insurance fees and facilities such as grounds and gardens.

You may add, remove or alter any fixtures and fittings, or renovate your premises, but only with our prior written approval which we will not unreasonably refuse. We may include reasonable conditions in our consent.

If the need arises, our friendly staff can assist you to navigate the options in obtaining home care services. We also have residential aged care at our purpose built Adelene Court and beautiful Rumbalara House. Both of these facilities offer respite care as well.
