Cardinal Gilroy Village offers an enhanced lifestyle for older persons in a relaxed community environment.

The service is located in a well established residential area, on generous grounds and within minutes drive of Merrylands shopping centre and railway station. A bus stop is located just inside the entrance to the Village.

The Village includes 238 self-contained units (mix of 1 & 2 bedroom units) set in generous grounds.

The ILU residents live independently, but can if they choose visit the apartments to access some of the services on offer.

All units offer comfortable accommodation and are in good condition. All have patios with garden outlooks. A 24-hour emergency call system is in place.

Residents occupy the independent living units under a formal agreement which ensures security of tenure.

Residents are required to pay an affordable fortnightly fee which covers all expenses other than electricity, telephone and personal keep. Our entry contribution arrangements are very reasonable and flexible - we endeavour to negotiate an arrangement to suit each individual.

The residential care service offers a mix of 90 low care and 45 high care places in clustered accommodation. The facility is contemporary having been totally rebuilt and/or upgraded since 2001.

Our ongoing fees are set by the Commonwealth Government at 85% of the Age Pension. Where a resident has non-pension income in excess of the Government threshold the resident is also required to contribute 25% of that additional income.

There aren't any pre-determined, fixed entry contributions. Every prospective resident is considered individually and arrangements determined that reflect his/her own personal circumstances. Those without means are not required to make a contribution. It must be emphasised however that where a resident does pay us a contribution the maximum amount retained by us is limited by Government regulation.

Community Care is designed to help clients who have been assessed as needing support to remain in their own homes and continue to be part of the broader community.
